ROXANNE ALDEN
Monticello
Roxanne M. Alden, 56, of Monticello, died Friday, April 15, 2016, at her home surrounded by her family after a 3 1/2-year battle with ovarian cancer.
A visitation will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Monday, April 18, at Kramer Funeral Home in Monticello. Funeral services will be 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, April 19, at United Church of Monticello, with burial in Oakwood Cemetery. The Rev. Edwin Moreano will officiate.

Those who knew Roxanne would say she was feisty, loving and generous. She would give you anything she had although she had very little except great love.
She is survived by her three children, Brooke Alden, and her children, Allison and Zander; Tyler Turnis and Katelynne Alden, all of Monticello; her parents; siblings, Leroy Hartwig of Center Junction, Dean (Vicky) Chapman of Hopkinton, Kathy (Doug) Timmer of Manchester and Brenda (Randy) Steiner of Monticello; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Roxanne was preceded in death by her grandparents, Herbert and Catherine Hook and Clarence and Myrtle Chapman; and an infant brother, Ricky.
