Roxane graduated from Ann Arbor High School in Michigan. At Carleton she was a virgie in Evans and majored in history.
Roxane was courageous, curious, and independent. Her determination to help others led to the Peace Corps in Tunisia in 1965 and later to her devoted work at the Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, primarily in the church’s Guatemala Companion Parish Ministry.
Married in 1968, she and her husband spent several years in the outer Hebrides in Scotland and later in Shishmaref, Alaska for his employment. Both were rugged and remote outposts that tested her adventurous and no-nonsense attitude. She learned the native cultures and volunteered wherever she could. Roxane spent a career teaching elementary school, mostly at Abington Friends School in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania from which she retired after over 20 years of service. In retirement, she loved gardening, reading mysteries, watching British shows on PBS, visiting art museums in Philadelphia and New York, and connecting with extended family.
