Roxanne Thomas

Roxanne Thomas, 68, passed away on Saturday, May 28, 2022, in her home in San Angelo, Texas. She was born to Darrel “Dean” and Faye (Flint) Johnson on June 29, 1953, in Phillipsburg, Kansas.  

Roxanne attended and graduated Davis High School in Kaysville, Utah in 1971.  She married Richard E. Huff in Kaysville, Utah in 1976, and they had two sons, Nicholas Ray Huff (Cristina Coronado Huff) of Port Ludlow, Washington, and Brandon James Huff (Corina Flueras Huff) of Layton, Utah.  

Roxanne was a devoted mother and student, graduating summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology from Weber State College in 1988.  She continued her studies throughout her career, obtaining numerous certifications, degrees and licensures to advance her practice.

In 1989, Roxanne remarried Jeff L. Thomas of Indianapolis, Indiana and began her medical technologist career at Culver Union Hospital in Crawfordsville, Indiana.  She and Jeff lived briefly in Memphis, Tennessee in 1992.  Roxanne subsequently served as a medical technologist and evening supervisor at Twin Rivers Regional Memorial Hospital in Kennett, Missouri from 1992-1993.  She later served as a medical technologist and laboratory technologist at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Blytheville, Arkansas from 1993–2001; at Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, South Carolina in 2005; at the Coastal Carolina Hospital and Medical Center in Hardeeville, South Carolina from 2005–2010; at the Barnwell County Hospital in Barnwell, South Carolina from 2010-2012; and at the Community Medical Center in Port Royal, South Carolina from 2012-2014. 

In 2014, Roxanne moved to San Angelo, Texas and served out the remainder of her practice as a medical technologist and medical laboratory scientist at Shannon Medical Center (formerly San Angelo Community Medical Center).  Roxanne, who had a great sense of humor, made some of the best friends of her life through her work in the medical industry in San Angelo, and her family appreciates their love and affection toward Roxanne, who was always very strong and self-reliant.
