Roxanne Welch Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Amy Roxanne Welch, of Lubbock, wife of Dr. Robert A. Welch, died on October 31, 2021. Roxanne was born October 25, 1969, in Lubbock, Texas, to Travis D. and Marilyn B. Brown. She received a public school education in Lubbock ISD, and was graduated from Lubbock High School; afterward, she attended Texas Tech University. She received training as a professional travel agent in Dallas; later she became a Certified EMT through South Plains College. While she was a dutiful mother and a stay-at-home wife, who enjoyed baking (Oh, those Christmas Cookie Exchange Parties!), volunteering, and "being there" for her family, the biggest impact on her was being a part of the home school community. Teaching her children in a home-based academy, helping them become aware of and active in volunteerism, and working with extra-curricular activities, such as drama and soccer, she prepared successful adults for their chosen careers. More recently she had opportunities to enjoy the role of "Nonnie" to Robert's grandchildren, Alexa and Lincoln Welch. While Roxanne will be dearly missed by family and those who loved her, she would want all to know that she was prepared to meet her Lord and Savior. She ran to meet Jesus Sunday morning, forever shedding the effects of a childhood bone disease and the more recently diagnosed cancer. Survivors include her husband, Dr. Robert A. Welch, Lubbock; her daughter, Ramsey King (fiancée Jayden King); her sister Rhonda Reid (Harley), Levelland; and Robert's son, Rich Welch, Lubbock. Other survivors are her parents Travis and Marilyn Brown, Lubbock. Preceding her in death were her grandparents Victor and Pauline Billington and Lucille Brown, Lubbock. A public visitation will be held Sunday, November 7, 2021 at Sanders Funeral Home at 3:00 PM. A Funeral Service will be Monday, November 8, 2021 in Sanders Memorial Chapel at 2:00 PM with Pastor David Henry, First Assembly of God Church, Hobbs, New Mexico officiating. Interment will follow at Peaceful Gardens Memorial Park.
