Roxann worked in the office at Farmers Union Oil Co. of Velva and Enerbase of Minot for over 20 years. She also worked at Joan’s Hallmark. She was a member of the Oak Valley Lutheran Church in Velva.

Roxann’s children and grandchildren were her pride and joy. She especially enjoyed spoiling her grandkids. Roxann was always thinking of others and had a special knack for picking out the perfect gift for those she loved. She enjoyed making baked goods or popcorn mix to share with coworkers. Roxann loved making fleece tie blankets. Over the years, she made over 80 of these blankets and shared them with her friends, family and even donated them to the Souris Valley Animal Shelter and Pinkerton Animal Hospital. She taught her grandson, Preston, how to make them. She loved animals, especially her cats. In addition, she loved spending time baking, cross-stitching, scrapbooking, decorating, and adding fine details to her elaborate Christmas village display.

While living here, she met a special group of ladies, including the nurses and staff who treated her like part of their family.
