Roxan Slane Obituary
PEORIA - With profound sadness we announce the passing of Roxan Slane, formerly of Peoria, our loving and devoted wife, mother and friend, to which all our lives she touched. She passed away on Wednesday, December 18, 2019.
She is survived by her spouse of 32 years, Henry P. Slane Jr.; daughter, Carrie Slick; granddaughters, Andrea Slick and Devyn Kapraun; father, Don Wallace; brother, Mark Smith and wife, Chris; and sister, Monte Ibler; two nephews, Josh and Ben; and niece, Molly.
Roxan spent 26 years working in Florida with her husband, Hank, operating their sailboat charter business. She then retired to Santa Fe, NM. She loved spending time with her daughter and granddaughters. She also loved to watch hummingbirds and old westerns. Roxan's overwhelming kindness will be missed by everyone who knew her.

I lived down the street and knew Roxan, Monte and Mark when they were in high school in East Peoria, IL, I was at their house a lot. They are a big part of my childhood and I enjoyed the time I spent with them. I was sad to see Roxan's passing and my sympathy goes out to all of Roxan's family; Monte, Mark and of course Hank and Carrie, family and friends. I know she will be missed by all who knew her.
