Roxie Anne was preceded in death by her parents, brothers, Jimmy B. Allen and Eldridge W. Allen, and infant son William Tinsley Hill, Jr.
Roxie Anne began her 49 year career in retail starting at the age of 15 working at Leggett’s in Lynchburg after school and week-ends. After graduation from Amherst County High School, she continued working at Leggett’s as a buyer. She later worked for Miller and Rhodes and Thalhimers as a department manager. Later, she began working for T. J. Maxx and was store manager of the Charlottesville and Christiansburg stores before retiring. She trained many new managers, helped set up new stores, and received many awards from T. J. Maxx.
Upon retirement, Roxie Anne enjoyed traveling especially to the western U.S. and St. Thomas. She also enjoyed crafts and volunteering. She was an active volunteer with Wheatland Hills Assisted Living and RSVP of Montgomery Co., until her health began to fail. She enjoyed attending plays, concerts, and the Roanoke Symphony. Roxie Anne’s greatest pleasure and pride came from her loving daughter Callie. She especially cherished her role as big sister to her siblings and always encouraged them.
