Roxanne Marie "Jewel" (Hubbard) Robey

Roxanne Marie “Jewel” (Hubbard) Robey, age 45, of Utica, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, September 9, 2012 in the comfort and dignity of her home. Roxanne was born in San Francisco, California on September 25, 1966. She attended Mohawk Valley Community College as a student in the Medical Office Assistant degree program. Roxie was caring, polite, respectful, and considerate of others, and always willing to help. She was a good listener with sound, intelligent advice, a kind heart, and a good soul. Roxanne knew in her heart the happiness of life’s ups and the hardships of the downs. Her journey in life began in San Francisco before she finally settled in Utica. Her travels lead her to several different states on the way including Arkansas, Vermont, New York and Texas, where she learned about various trades and business opportunities. She enjoyed cooking, reading (with a fondness for mysteries, SI-FI and horror novels), working on the computer, and social networking. When she was in Albany, New York, Roxie met Paul Migliaccio, and it was the beginning of a five-year loving union for them. They enjoyed their time together, ventured on many day trips especially to Old Forge and area attractions where Roxie enjoyed the water and wildlife. Paul and Roxie shared a very special bond and a reciprocal love for each other. Paul cherished her smile and Roxie appreciated his ability to respect her, love her, and make her happy. Roxie is survived by her companion, Paul Migliaccio and his family; her close friends including Lynda Cushing, Chris Cushing, Penny Fumia, Maggie and John Copper, Sylvia and Larry, John, Lynda, and Kathy; and the memory of her 3 children. She also enjoyed the company of her feline companions. She was predeceased by her infant son, Kenny. The family extends heartfelt thanks to Dr. William Jorgenson P.C.P., D.O, and Dr. Francis Migliaccio, for their excellent care over the years. Family and friends are respectfully invited to attend a Memorial Gathering in honor of Roxanne which will be held Friday evening from 5:30 to 6:30 at the Eannace Funeral Home, Inc., 932 South St., corner of Hammond Ave. Roxie’s funeral service and Celebration of Life will commence on Friday evening at 6:30 at the funeral home immediately upon conclusion of visitation with the Rev.
