Thanks to Bill's military career Roe moved our household no less than fourteen times before finally settling in Glendale in 1984. Roe was mostly a "Stay at Home Mom" during our son Matt's growing up. She also worked as a telephone operator at numerous telephone companies, and ended her working life as a pharmacy assistant at K-Mart, retiring in 1999 Soon after coming to Glendale Bill & Roe became very involved in a jeep club, and discovered a passion for touring in their motorhome. Jeeping in Colorado became a regular summer event for over twenty-five years. Roe is survived by her devoted husband, Bill; beloved son, Matthew, (Traci); older sister, Marie (Richard); grandchildren Garrett (15) and Emily (11); and numerous nieces, nephews, and in-laws. She was preceded in death by her parents, an older brother, Joey; and an older sister, Yolanda.
