Obituary
VERONA - Roxanne J. C. V. Karsten, age 35, of Verona, passed away unexpectedly due to underlying health conditions on Monday, Feb. 15, 2021. She was born on March 21, 1985, in Madison, the daughter of Barb (Ken) Johnson and father, Randy Karsten.
Roxanne was always willing to help others. She enjoyed family vacations and traveling, she was a fan of the Dallas Cowboys when she younger. She loved spending time with her daughter more than anything. She loved holidays, shopping, getting her hair and nails done. She was very happy and bubbly and cracking jokes every time we went to get our nails done. She was a beautiful, caring and very lovely person who will be missed deeply. #rip

I will always remember Roxanne as a fun caring soul. I ran into a few times over the years and enjoyed seeing her one of my favorite memories of her was I was standing in front of the door so she couldn't take off out of the class when she went over to the window open it up and jumped out I didn't know if I wanted to laugh, cry or yell. My thought are with her daughter and rest of the family remember all the good times and let them get you threw. Robin ODell

"It's dark and wet, droplets hitting my face. What is happening, I am floating.. It's clear and bright, I catch a glimpse.. No, it couldn't be, It is. It's you, I am here. Is it okay? I am ready but, promise to make sure they are okay. They are going to be okay.. I am enlightened and hurt free. This is right, this is okay. I am ready." Roxanne, you were ready, God has you now and you are free. Free of hurt. Free of judgment. Free to be free. We love you and know you will be with us forever. Until we meet again. -Shana

I would like to start by saying how very sorry I am for your loss. I also would like to share how Roxanne was wonderful friend to me. When I had my kids she would come visit as much as possible. She was always so sweet, funny and a joy to be around. I remember for my birthday I couldn't afford to do anything so she came over with a birthday card, candy and a rose. I remember being so happy and hugging her so tight! She gave the best hugs. I will always remember her beautiful smile, her protective spirit and like I said before, her warm hugs. No matter the time or distance. I will always remember you. Love Carla

I am so saddened to find out about Roxanne. We met each other at 5 door and I was able to finally meet the Women who shares the same name as my cousin and also to find out we share the same last name. Roxanne was one of the first people to talk and welcome me and offered to help me with anything I may need. We shared stories of our family and friends, we shared hope for the future; many laughs. She brought so many things to our group there. My prayers and condolences to your family. She will be missed 🌹Kristina Karsten
