I met Roxanne when I worked at Troll Book Clubs. We got along immediately and her laugh was infectious.
I remember many times Roxy sharing with us at lunch break about a new restaurant her and Frank went to over the border, or the casino visits, or vacation plans. There was always something. Roxanne & Frank really lived life to the fullest. They worked hard and they played hard.
My condolences to Robyn, Marco and Roxy’s family and friends.
ROXANNE RINALDI 1955 - 2023
Passed away peacefully at
Hospice Niagara at the age of 68, with her family by her side. Loving wife and
soulmate of Frank (predeceased 2020) for 45 years. Cherished and devoted mom to
Robyn and Marco (Tracy). Predeceased by her parents Richard (Rosanne) Popiela
and Dolores (Tony) Brzozowski. Much loved sister to Alicia (Ron) Marcella,
Jimmy (Pauline) Popiela, and Sister-in-law to Jerry (Joan) Rinaldi. Roxanne
will be lovingly remembered by her fur grandchildren, Peanut, Penny and Sam.
She will also be dearly missed by many nieces, nephews, family & friends.
Together with her husband,
brother-in-law Jerry and sister-in-law Joan, she worked many years contributing
to the success and growth of Rinaldi Homes. She had since retired to take care
of her husband Frank and spent time with her children, family and friends.
Family was always something she was so proud of and the many vacations, casino
trips, rounds of golf and celebrations have always been her most treasured
memories.
Roxanne was a strong woman
and she will always be remembered for her infectious laugh and her vibrant
personality. She was a true warrior that not only helped her husband fight off
his health battles but also fought her own tough battle with cancer as long as
she could. She will now be forever united with her loving husband and is
suffering no more.
The family would like to
thank the wonderful staff at Hospice Niagara. They will be forever grateful for
their kind and compassionate care during such a difficult time.
