GLENS FALLS – With profound sorrow and despair we announce
the death of Roxanne Levine-Pritzker.
May she finally find the peace that so eluded her in life.
Although Rox had very difficult beginnings, she persevered,
culminating in her prized RN degree.
Never has there been nurse as kind and patient centered as Rox. However, nothing compared to her greatest
prizes in life; her two children, Jayce Lubin and Halie Clerville. They kept her going. Their names are forever tattooed on her body,
but they were always first and foremost in her heart. Her next greatest love was the New York
Giants, also tattooed on her body. As
she always said, she bled blue.
Roxanne had a keen mind, sharp wit and troves of love and
hurt inside that body. Left to cherish
her memories are her parents; Stan Pritzker and Marna Levine; brother, John
Levine-Pritzker; sister, Jaklin Levine-Pritzer; sister in law, Amber
Levine-Pritzker; her cherished nieces, Kamryn, Charleigh and Evelyn; nephew,
Johnny (Bubba); numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends mourn along with
us. We now shed endless tears for the
loss of such a beautiful, talented and loving person.
Funeral arrangements will be private and sitting Shiva will
not be observed. We ask only that you
keep Roxanne, Jayce and Halie in your hearts.
