She was preceded in death by her son, Gregory Scott Gross, a sister, Tina Kay Eoff, her loving Uncle Herman and Aunt Bess Murray, a grandmother, Mary Florence Eoff, her biological parents, Loy Cecil Eoff and Linda Fern Langford Eoff, as well as many aunts, uncles, and cousins including Floyd and Ada Murray, Garland and Edith Gibson, Lowell Murray, and Martha Murray Williams.
Born Loy Jean Eoff of Harrison, Arkansas, on August 23rd, 1946, the nickname Roxanne was derived from a beautiful, sleek, reddish mare, that had a long flowing mane, whom she named Roxy. The horse was a gift bought by her Aunt Bess and Uncle Herman (Murray). She loved to run, play with a mind of her own, and was subject to do anything. Roxanne approached life with zest and laughter. Simply and beautifully, she was a mother, a grandmother, a sister, an aunt, a friend and a warrior. As we celebrate and honor her, we keep in mind the words of Dr. Seuss: Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.
