August 10, 1939 — November 14, 2013
Lifetime Plymouth resident Roxanne Croy, 74, passed away at 5:40 a.m. on Thursday, November 14, 2013 in her home under the loving care of her family and hospice.
The daughter of James “Red” Edward and Violet “Bob” G. Fear Elliott, Roxanne was born on August 10, 1939 in Plymouth. She was a 1958 graduate of Plymouth High School.
Before she was able to go to college, her future husband, Robert “Bob” Croy , stole her heart. Roxanne and Bob were married on April 28, 1959 in Plymouth.

She had also volunteered for Hospice and the Kiwanis Camp.
She loved being with her family, driving and sightseeing around the countryside, camping, cooking and baking for family and friends. She and Bob had been “snowbirds” in Florida for several winters. A person with a very sharp mind, she was very loveable, loved singing and just this year, she learned to “whistle”.
