On December 23,1952, the Christmas star was born a few days early in the name of Roxann Ross, to later become my precious wife Roxann Ross Dyess. In thirty years together, we never shared an argument - only love, respect, joy and friendship. Roxann passed away at 5:15 am, Friday, April 23, 2021. She died peacefully while holding my hand. She is survived by her parents, Bill and Mary Ross; her sister, Robin Ross; and her loving son, Todd Mathers. I hesitate to describe myself, her partner and best friend, James Dyess, as surviving, but I am still here hoping to share Roxann’s memory and good works. Roxann worked for the Mobile Probate Court for 30 years and retired as the County Elections Coordinator. Her friends were dear and devoted in many areas; church, work, the art world and truly everyone she met. If you knew her, I share your loss and your grief. If you did not know her, I offer my sorrow for your loss.
