Obituary

Roxy Jacob age 70, of Amery, Wisconsin passed away peacefully at her home on April 8, 2017. Roxanne Dawn Murrell was born on November 30, 1946 in Minneapolis, Minnesota to her parents, Gerald and Clarice Murrell. She grew up in the Minneapolis area with her mother and stepfather, George Froehlich and graduated from Edison High School. She moved to Amery, Wisconsin with her husband in 1971 where she raised two children, Michael & Ginger before moving back to Minnesota in 1983. Above all else, Roxy was known as the "fun" Mom and the "fun" Aunt. Her enthusiasm and outgoing personality was the reason why the Jacob household was THE place to spend time after school, sleep over on the weekends, and hang out during summer vacation. Roxy had a unique gift for making Michael and Ginger's friends and cousins feel special, valued, and loved. She had an infectious attitude that brought people together for honest sharing, spirited conversation, and loud laughter which also served her well in her career. She worked as a flight attendant for Northwest Airlines for nearly 20 years where she would take the extra time to talk with a child or make someone smile. She enjoyed travelling to a multitude of destinations, but Amsterdam was her favorite, especially around this time of year! Her absolute joy came from spending time with her two granddaughters, Madelyn and Shay. She loved attending their many school and sporting events, having adventures, and making memories on Lake Wapogasset. Roxy was preceded in death by her mother, father and stepfather. She is survived by her son, Michael Jacob; daughter, Ginger (Matt) Wassman; two granddaughters, Madelyn and Shay; brother, Wesley (Cindy) Murrell, as well as her nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. A celebration of life will be held from 4 to 7 pm on Thursday, April 13, 2017 at the Williamson-White Funeral Home, 222 Harriman Ave. N, Amery, WI.
