There are few days that go by when I don't think of "Roxy" and her kindness, cheerfulness, and amazing abilities to make learning fun. She has influenced my life in many ways, and continues to inspire me. I will always be thankful to have known her, and grateful for the many school and life lessons she shared. Rest in peace, Roxy. You are truly missed.

"Roxy" was one of the best and most influential teachers of my life. She always made time to talk, provide advice, sit through a rainy football game for the school paper, and so many other gestures of generosity and care. She was an amazing educator, mentor, advisor and friend. I miss her more than words can say, and I am forever grateful for the kindness and care she showed. My sincere condolences to her family and friends. Roxanne was one of a kind.

You made such an impact on so many students during your time at Timberlane. Some of my fondest high school memories were on the volleyball court with you cheering us on. Such a kind and supportive coach. I hope you know how loved you were. ❤
