An eighth generation Arizonan, Roxie was born in Tucson on August 3, 1960 to Lydia Ramona "Mona" Lopez and Osvaldo "Vic" G. Lopez, the youngest of seven children. Radiant in light and love felt by all, Roxie was voted "Ms. Congeniality" at the Phoenix Cotillion.

In 2008, she returned to her Tucson pueblo to marry George, the first boy she kissed. Roxie served as the first Communications Director for the U.S. Border Patrol, retiring as Director of Policy and Compliance in 2016. Along her journey, she fulfilled her dreams of world travels surrounded by family and friends, joy and laughter. Roxie is survived by her husband, George; stepchildren, Kasey and Jesse and siblings, Fr.

Roxie was a beautiful soul. I knew her in Washington DC when we both worked for Janet Reno and I got to go to her wedding. She was fun, loving and spirited. She loved life and cared deeply about other people. Though we lost touch in recent years, I will never forget her and her infectious laugh. There will always be a warm spot in my heart for Roxie. Love and blessings to the family. And to Roxie up there: keep the party going until we all join you.
Love, Eva Plaza
