Roxanne Marie Willard was born October 13, 1959, in Heppner, Oregon. She moved to Alaska with her family in 1962. She raised hell and loved hard until her final breath on March 22, 2016. She was a daughter, a sister, a mother, an aunt, a cousin, a friend, and above all else she was a grandmother. Her family was her world, and although we may not have had all we wanted, she always made sure we had everything we needed. She loved the outdoors, and nothing made her happier than watching her grandchildren playing in the yard, and taking them all for a ride in her thing-a-ma-jig. She never asked for anything, but was always giving all she had. Roxanne was taken from us far too soon, but she will always be loved, remembered, and cherished by everyone that knew her. There are no words to describe the void that has been left by her absence. She was an amazing person, and will live on in our hearts forever, she will never be forgotten.
