Roxy loved to travel which included cruises, exotic destinations, 6 years as a snow bird in Phoenix and her trips to Montana where she loved shopping and family time. Roxy had passions for watercolor painting and building her Christmas Village. Roxy’s illness never held her back and she continued to cherish every moment of her life. The family would like to thank everyone involved in fulfilling Roxy’s life to the fullest, this includes her sisters at the Beta Sigma Phi.
