Roxanne Trippi Edwards Obituary (1947 - 2016)

Roxanne Trippi Edwards was born June 8, 1947 and has now gone to be with her Lord on July 5, 2016. Roxanne graduated from Wesleyville High, where she loved her teachers, one act plays, contests, and was captain of her cheerleading squad. She then graduated from Gannon College. Roxanne retired from Labor and Industry then worked at the Behrend Library. It was like a dream come true as she had a true love for reading. Roxanne served on many community projects including United Way, Hotline, Cert and her favorite Presque Isle Woman's Club, where she believed in their devotion to our community and she gained many lasting friendships. Her love for Presque Isle was lifelong fishing, boating, camping and picnics. Her wonderful gardens and her love for dogs brought warmth to her heart. Roxanne was preceded in death by her parents, Leonard Joseph and Veronica Trippi. Survivors include her daughter, Michele Collette; her son, Jason Scott, his wife, Michele Marie, and grandchildren, Caleb Jay and Sydney Marie Edwards; and her close friend, Pam Maynard. She is also survived by her favorite cousins Michele Hess and Kathleen Nigrone. Special thanks to her extended family, Brendan, Tracy and Rich Lee for all their help. The family would like to thank her Hospice Nurses, Mary, Chris, and aide, Melanie for their kindness and support, and a special thank you to Dr. Rothman for all his care and compassion.
