Roxanne Lopez Obituary
February 9, 1959 - August 20, 2021
Meridian, Idaho - Roxanne Lopez, born February 9, 1959 went to be with the Lord on August 20, 2021, with her husband Francisco, close family members and their loyal dog Lucy by her side.
Roxanne was born in Gooding, Idaho and moved to California in 1966. She met her best friend and soulmate, Cisco in her early teens. Roxanne graduated high school in 1976 and married Cisco on December 11, 1976. The love they shared during their 45 years of marriage was undeniable and shone through whenever you saw them together or when either spoke the other's name.
Roxanne graduated from Sylmar High School in 1976 and went on to college and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Human Resource Management. She was a natural in HR, with her care and compassion for people and her determination to do the right thing. She worked for the City of Los Angeles as the head of HR, then moved to Idaho where she worked at the State Tax Commission ultimately serving as the HR Officer. Roxanne's dedication to her job was unparalleled right up until the day she retired in 2020.
Roxanne, otherwise known as "Auntie", loved and cared for her nieces and nephews as if they were her own children. She also cherished family get-togethers. When Roxanne talked of family, it was hard to tell whether she was talking about her family or Cisco's family as they just all blended as one in her heart.
Anyone who had the opportunity to meet Roxanne could see the twinkle in her eye and the love she had for life and others. Her laugh was contagious. She was selfless and always there for anyone who needed anything. She was an honest, caring, loving individual and set a good example for all those that knew her. Roxanne's friends were truly blessed, their lives enriched and forever changed by her love and kindness.
Roxanne and Cisco enjoyed family, friends, seeing the latest movie, and their regular trips to Jackpot, Wendover, California, Mexico, and Hawaii. Roxanne also enjoyed crafting in her spare time, making beautiful quilts and elegant Christmas ornaments for family and friends.
Roxanne will be dearly missed; her faith and love for the Lord are a testament to us all that Jesus will be waiting for her with open arms!
Roxanne is survived by her husband; her brother Jimmie Joe (Marie), sister, Rhonda, her best friend Rhonda (Rick), nieces, nephews and family, who loved her dearly.

There are no words to express my sympathy to Roxanne's family & friends for the loss of this beautiful, compassionate woman! I knew Roxanne as a friend & the HR Director at the Idaho Tax Commission. She got me through a traumatic time in my life & was always available to talk, stop by or text to say hi & see how things were going. I will always remember Roxanne as a classy, caring woman who was taken away far too soon! We were supposed to get together for lunch after she retired, but work & travel got in the way & we never did. I regret that! Call someone you've been meaning to get together with & go see them! Miss you Roxanne

I am so sorry for your loss. Roxanne was so special to me. She taught me the difference between work and home life balance, I truly learned so much from her and she was the person if I needed guidance I would go chat with her. I learned to be a better person because of her. My heart breaks for those she left behind. Roxanne's smile and compassion will be missed. My deepest condolences'. Miss you Roxanne

Hello. I am so sorry for your loss. I worked for the Idaho Tax Commission for 21yrs. Roxanne was my H.R. lady for quite a long time there and she was one of the nicest people I have ever met... so lovely; she was always asking me to send pictures of my daughter to her over the years; she was genuine and very kind to me and others, always. My heart goes out to you....

Roxanne was pretty special lady. May she rest in peace. She really helped me through my father´s passing in 2014. I would go over to her office at break just to chat. My father was a volunteer at the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery and she always told me how great it was that he spent so much time there volunteering his services. He was there every day for several years for every burial or cremains handling.

Roxanne will be missed! She was a beautiful person with a heart of gold! She helped me both personally and professionally. She started me off on the certified public management program right before she retired. I graduated the program this year.
The picture below is from the race for the cure. Roxanne joined out team "Jeanine's Juggernauts" to support our fellow employees that have been affected by cancer. She was a light to many of us here at the Tax Commission.
Sincerely,
Leah Parsons
