Obituary of Roxanne Kathleen Roach

September 13, 1955 – Calgary, Alberta

December 7, 2023 – Calgary, Alberta

It is with sad hearts that the family of Roxanne Roach announce her passing on Thursday, December 7, 2023, at the age of 68 years.

She was born in Calgary, AB, and spent her entire life in the Stampede city. Much of her life was spent battling MS, but she strived to not let her condition be the trademark of her life. 

Roxanne was predeceased by her son, Matthew David Roach.  She leaves behind one grandson, Brandon (Shayla - fiancée); five brothers and sisters, David (Leslie), Darcy, Leah (Sheldon), Billi-Jo (Greg), and Michael; eight nieces and nephews, Christopher (Ivanna), Cameron, Hailey, Tara (Brian), Krista, Kenneth (Cheryl), Tye, and Faith; as well as her cherished cat, Cloe.

Roxanne was blessed with a small but strong circle of friends that truly cared for and looked after each other. Forming memorable relationships with her neighbours was always a constant occurrence in Roxanne’s life. Her strong sense of community will be missed by all those who had the pleasure of calling her neighbour and friend.

A Memorial Service followed by a light reception will be held on Wednesday, December 20, 2023, at 10:30 a.m. at McInnis & Holloway (Chapel of the Bells, 2720 Centre Street N, Calgary, AB T2E 2V6).
