With great sadness we announce the sudden passing of our beloved daughter, sister, auntie and dear friend, Roxanne Quinby at the age of 63. Roxanne shared 38 years with her long time love, Daniel Kraft.
Roxanne was born on July 28, 1954 in Oakland, Ca to Stephen and Catherine Quinby. Roxanne spent her younger years growing up in Santa Maria Ca, with her three siblings and then moved to Santa Clara, Ca where she graduated from Wilcox High School. Roxanne worked for various corporations in the semiconductor industry for more than 20 years.
Her greatest joy was her love of family, her precious cats, and her dear best friend of 20 years Kari Abner who was like a sister to her. Roxanne was a loving, caring person who enjoyed her family, gardening, photography, music and hiking in Yosemite. She had a love for drawing and possessed an impressive artistic ability. Roxanne had a love for life and greeted everyone with a smile and a hug. Her unforgettable laugh always filled the room.
Roxanne is survived by Daniel Kraft, her father Stephen Quinby, sister Marianne Gonella, brother Pete (Beverly) Quinby and 5 nieces and nephews, Tessa Quinby, Michael (Mitzi) Billeci, Gina Billeci, Paul Quinby, and Mark Quinby. She is also survived by four step-siblings Diane Doppert (Jim Koehn), Beverly (Mike) Ball, Dave Mercer, Sherrie (Rich) Miller along with the Kraft family, Jeannie (Paul) Snapp, Eddie (Becky) Kraft, Gail Cregeen, Judy (Bob) Levy, Debbie (Jason) Tyree and their extended families.
She was preceded in death by her mother Catherine Quinby, sister Janine Quinby, sister Lisa Quinby, brother-in-law Rod Gonella, step-mother Patricia Quinby, Dennis Cregeen, as well as Edward and Martha Kraft.
Services will be held Wed June 27, 2018 at 2:00 pm at Oak Hill Funeral Home, The Chapel of Roses.
