Roxane had a warm and generous spirit. In her earlier years, she found joy in babysitting and always cherished time spent with her nieces and nephews. She loved reading, socializing, shopping, and collecting tumblers, hoodies, pens, and purses. She also enjoyed crafting, attending craft shows, and cheering on the Indianapolis Colts.
