Obituary of Roxina Hilker

November 1, 1948 - St. Patricks, Newfoundland

September 26, 2024 - Calgary, Alberta

Roxanne Hilker passed away peacefully on Thursday, September 26, 2024, surrounded by her family.

Roxanne was a cherished mother, nan, sister, and friend. She will be fondly remembered for her vibrant smile, bright spirit, and the abundant love she shared. Throughout her many years as a nurse, she dedicated herself to caring for others, and her commitment to her work will be honoured. Roxanne adored being surrounded by her family and will forever hold a special place in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.

Roxanne’s memory will live on through her two daughters, Roberta (Dustin) and Rhonda; five grandchildren, Jordan (Cora), Rebecca, Andie, Erin, and Russell; great-grandson Carson; and her siblings, Richard (DiAnne), Susan (Harrison), Mary-Lou (Mike), Chris (Christine), and Ellen (Dino).

Roxanne is now reunited with her husband Bob, her siblings Dave, Elizabeth, and Linda; and her parents, Ina and Richard.

"Those we love don't go away; they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear." - Unknown
