So sorry to see this. She was a babysitter for me 50+ years ago and we had many good laughs about those days when we would run into each other. Her smile and kindness will long be remembered. God Bless!

Uncle Chuck, Blake and Crystal,
The Lord is holding you all so tight right now. My heart goes out to you all. I have many good memories of Roxy. All the fun times we had at each other's homes while our Mom's had their coffee. Haha...what a time! Also, family time at the farm every Sunday - I will cherish that forever. I always enjoyed my visits with Roxy as well. She just had a way of making you feel special and loved. I'm going to miss her wink, smile and chuckle. Sending big...
