Roxanna Wake Obituary
Roxanna “Roxie” Wake, 69, passed away on December 14, 2025 in Isabella, MO. She was born on December 17, 1955 in White Salmon, Washington. Roxie lived a life marked by deep love for her family and a generous spirit that touched many.
She was the beloved wife of the late Clifford Wake, and is now reunited with him and their son, Joe Wake. Roxie was also preceded in death by her parents.
Roxie leaves behind a legacy of love through her children: Marrei Johson, Elisa Brewer, Fred Rodgers, Shawnra McCarty, and Gwen Wake. In addition to her biological children, she embraced many others as children of her heart-each one held dearly and remembered fondly. Her family extended across generations with numerous grandchildren, and several great grandchildren whom she loved deeply.
Those who knew Roxie will remember her warmth and the way she welcomed others into her life with open arms. Her home was often a place of comfort and care for many beyond her immediate family.
May her memory bring comfort to those who knew and loved her.
