Life for Roxanne wasn’t always a bed of roses, but she endeavored to keep trying. As a girl, she and her brother, Kenny, went to live with her grandparents, Walter and Emma. They lovingly called them granddaddy and mother. They had a 60 acre farm out in the Fredonia community of Coffee County, right across from the cemetery. They raised cows for milk and meat. Her grandparents needed help to take care of the chores around the farm. She and Kenny were expected to do their part. Roxanne was not a farm hand, so Kenny was elected to do the milking and outdoor chores. She handled the cooking and housework.
Roxanne decided early on that she wanted to help people by being a nurse. After graduating from Coffee County High School in 1973 she set about getting an education to become a registered nurse. She took classes at Erlanger in Chattanooga for three years, then went on to earn her bachelor’s degree and master’s degree at Regis University. Over the years she worked at several hospitals. She went from Good Samaritan Hospital to the opening of Stones River Hospital in Woodbury. Later she landed a position at the Alvin York VA Medical Center in Murfreesboro. It was there she strived to make the biggest impact on the veterans. She worked in a ward which cared for many of the veterans with Alzheimer’s. It was her passion to make their lives better. One of her personal projects involved getting approval for a service dog to help the veterans. His name was Buddy.
While working for the Good Samaritan hospital, she crossed paths with an ambulance driver named Ron. It wasn’t long before they fell in love. They married on September 16, 1978, and celebrated 41 years of marriage before his passing in 2019. Ron was also a veteran and a local fireman and active with the American Legion. She would often help with events he was involved with supporting the Legion and fire department. Ron had a daughter, Ann, and they had two children together, Matthew and Madeline. She and Ron were leaders of the Boy Scouts and Girl Scout troops they were members of.
Roxanne had the gift of gab and people would regularly come up to her out of the blue and strike up a conversation. Being a nurse, scout leader, and mother meant she was born with a servant heart. When she wasn’t working, she loved to try her hand at rose gardening. While her thumb wasn’t as green as her grandmother, Emma’s, she didn’t let that deter her from trying. She could do some good cooking though. Her specialties were lasagna, extra cheesy with a twist using cottage cheese and her banana pudding. She liked watching Paula Dean cooking shows and tried to pick up as many tips as possible. She was a devoted fan of the country band Alabama. She and Ron liked to kid each other. If Reba McIntyre would take him or if one of the members of Alabama would take her, they would be fine with going, no hard feelings.
They kept a busy schedule with work, volunteer events, school programs, scouting and the like. In addition to everything else she was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star #509. When they decided to get away one of their favorite spots to take the family was Tybee Island. When her grandparents raised them, they made sure to instill a love for God. She didn’t stray away from her teaching. She found a church family with the members of Victory In Jesus at Livings Springs Church. Putting her faith and trust in God to guide her and lift her from the storms life would inevitably bring. Her family can take comfort from knowing she knew who her savior was and that she would have a home waiting with him. Where she could wait patiently to meet them on the other side.
Visitation will be held at Gentry-Smith Funeral Home on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, from 11-1 pm. Funeral services will follow in the Gentry-Smith Funeral Home chapel. Sydney Parham will officiate.
