Roxanna Lynn Reese

Roxanna Lynn Reese, 54, of Tipton, Indiana, passed away on Sunday, August 28, 2022, at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis.  She was born on February 22, 1968, in Noblesville, Indiana.

Roxanna loved being outdoors, and she enjoyed the simple things in life:  Fishing off a bank, walking barefoot on a beach, watching a sunrise or sunset, standing under a waterfall, or viewing a canopy of fall leaves. She had a compassion for helping others, and her lively spirit and love of music kept her singing and dancing. She was blessed with a green thumb, and she loved the pleasures of gardening, planting trees and tending to her flowers. She was an avid collector of many things, but bells were her favorite!  

Roxanna’s animals were her pride and joy:  her dog, Mr. Wigglez, and her 13 cats:  Marblez, Sparklez, Twinklez, Reblez, Starz, Lazer, Tazer, Zeus, Ozzy, Izzy, Ziggy, Gigglez and Ticklez.  Roxanna loved being with her family and friends, but her heart was devoted to all the children in her life. She was known for wanting a "proper" hug and never allowing them to leave without telling them how much she loved them.

Roxanna is survived by her husband, Michael Reese; mother, Carolyn Sue Blondiau; daughter, Britney Needler (Craig);  sons, Harley Needler and Greg Needler Jr (Erin); first husband, Greg Needler; 9 grandchildren, Harmony, Ellie Mae,  Alexis, Alice, Piper Lynn, Oliver, Felix, Fitz, and Flex; siblings, Wanda Russ (Dennis), John Nelson, Christina Merrite,  Jarred Uhrick, and Jennifer Edwards;  mother-in-law, Linda Travison (John); father-in-law, David Reese; sister-in-law,  Elizabeth Bender (Harry); brothers-in-law, Justin Reese (Rachael), and Jamey Reese (Abbey); as well as several nieces & nephews, aunts & uncles.

She was preceded in death by her father, Robert Arlo Uhrick; step-mother, Pamma Uhrick; and her step-father, Wayne "Bliz" Blondiau, who raised her.
