Words cannot express what Aunt Roxann meant to us a family. There was never a person more loving and more giving than "Aunt Roxann"! She was an inspiration not only in her personal life, but her professional life as well. She was one who always put the good of others before her own. She will truly be missed. Please watch over our family members in heaven, Aunt Roxann!
Aunt Roxann was always ready for company. When we would come down to visit she always welcomed us with open arms and gave up her room and bed for us to stay in. We had so much fun playing games and staying up late talking. We will miss her dearly. Our thoughts and prayers are with the rest of the Bitzer family as they go thru this tough time. We love you all. Roxann will be sorely missed and never forgotten. The pink flamingos will forever be a great memory of her incredible sense of humor.
Chad…..you are my best friend…and always you and your family have welcomed me into your lives. I have had great times and have gotten that look..you know the look…that says im about to get stompped by your mom (and dad)…but they never judged me..then i met tina..and you met cindy ..wow the changes we have gone through together man. I am, and will always be here for you however and whenever you need me.I love you bro and will always feel I am a better person having been given the chance to know your mom. She sure did tell it straight, even when i didnt want to hear it, and i would change nothing about it
How can words even begin to express what you, my Aunt Roxann, mean to me. Honest, loving, good hearted, skilled, creative, charismatic, problem solver, hard worker, happy, all of these are characteristics of you and all are footprints any one of us hope to leave and be remembered by. You taught me what it's like to be a great middle child. Not only that but how to deal with two brothers. You were the first person to teach me how to play "real" bingo. I am constantly trying to master the art of card playing to be able to go down and out, burning those with all their cards still stuck in their hands, as you did so many times with the biggest grin on your face. I will always remember the family game nights you headed introducing us to new and exciting board games. Balderdash is one of those games that filled the house with so much laughter and memories. I will remember most your laugh and smile, the smile only grandkids and great nieces can give. How happy they made you, how excited you were when they were around you. You are a person with so much devotion to your family, a loving mother, a respected collegue. You gave us so much and we will all miss you dearly. I would never tell you goodbye just that all see you soon. Now go "Rip and Tear" it up there in Heaven with grandma great and grandpa. And please give my little brother a big hug for me. I love you!!
You well be missed love you girl
As a co-worker I can say that Roxann will be sorely missed. I can't imagine how deeply her family will miss her. You are in our thoughts and prayers.When my wife and I were adopting two children a few years ago, Roxann took on all the work related paperwork requests we sent her with such a quickness and desire to help that it was just amazing for lack of a better word. This was essentially extra work for her, but she was so very glad to help out and she never got tired of hearing "just one more thing" from us. We thank her for that and will remember her for that as just one example of her wonderful character.
From the moment I met Roxann I knew what a special woman she was. She was so intelligent, loving, generous, and fun to be with. She was a wonderful mother to my husband, a nurturing grandma to my children, and to me not only the best mother-in-law I could ask for, but also my friend. I loved to hear her laugh. Loved playing cards and board games with her. She made Christmas an event making cookies and goodies for not only her family but others as well. Over the past couple of weeks I have replayed all those special memories in my head….she was in the room with me when my son was born helping me through labor, there after my daughter was born, the trips to Vegas, the RV trips, and even when my father died she was there to comfort my entire family. I admire her for so many reasons. It is hard to believe that we won't have her here with us anymore. That we have lost someone so special. There is no replacing this woman and we all miss her so much. We love you Rox!
We are so sorry to the entire family for your loss. We only got to know Roxann very briefly, she struck me as a very kind woman. You are in are thoughts and prayers.
to the family, your in our thoughts & prayers
