Roxanne Kay Grinnell was born May 5, 1960 to Rexford and Evelyn (Olson) Grinnell.

Her resilience in the face of adversity was truly inspiring; despite the many challenges she faced after her stroke, her determination remained unwavering, serving as a testament to her remarkable strength.

Roxie’s affinity for nature, particularly birds and flowers, was profound. Her giving heart left an indelible mark on those around her. Whether it was her renowned peanut brittle during the holidays or her thoughtful gestures like tending to the cemetery plants and always having dog treats on hand, Roxie epitomized the essence of generosity.

Above all, Roxie held her role as a grandmother in the highest regard. Her granddaughters brought her immense pride and joy. She eagerly participated in their events, cherishing every opportunity to be a part of their lives.
