Roxanne was not only a wonderful faculty member, she was the best friend any person or student could hope to have. She was always willing to listen, provide a hug when needed, and draw on her own life experiences to help others through the difficulties of life.
She was also a person who loved to have fun. She loved dressing up for Hallowe'en and decorating her office so that the children who visited campus on Hallowe'en would have a wonderful experience. She loved walking, and took many walks in Beaver Creek. She loved camping, and she had wonderful times with her grandson Jeffrey as they "toured Europe" going through Rome and other small Ohio towns to get to the campground and on the way to the WIlds. She loved to explore, and every conference became a journey of exploration.
Roxanne was always willing to go the extra mile for students. When we took students to Eastern Kentucky University or to events in Kent, Pittsburgh, or Cleveland the van was filled with laughter and talk. She was so proud of our students!
Most important, Roxanne loved her children and grandchildren and her sisters. She positively lit up when she talked about them and the love and joy that was evident when she talked about her great grandson Serj was a joy to see. She loved being with Eric every day and she talked to Emily, Jon, and Jeffrey often. She looked forward to the holidays at Emily's when all of her children were present and she would be able to see Jon in person, not by phone. She would be giddy with happiness when she was ready to go to visit her sisters.
Roxanne loved. She loved her family, her friends, her students, and she loved what she did. She loved her special assistant Megan who did so much for her, who never refused a task because she know what a wonderful person Roxanne was. She helped me more times than I can count. I can never repay her kindness. I am a better person for having her for a friend. We are all better off that Roxanne was in our world, and, as Eric said in his writing about his mother, we, as well as the nurses she taught, have learned the importance of kindness and compassion from her.
We will miss her physical presence, but we will feel her with us still.
