They eventually moved to Pollock, SD. Together they had two poodles, Raco and Paco plus on blue heeler, Roy.
Roxane’s favorite hobbies were watching NBA Basketball Team OKC Thunder! Her favorite player was Kevin Durant as usual. She put her THUNDER shirt and cheered her team whether they lost or not. She was a true fan! She loved to listen to country music and favorite singer was George Strait. She spent much time on Facebook with friends and family.
Roxane will be deeply missed by her parents, Gary and Marilyn Sandland; her significant other, Matt Larson; her brothers, James (Nicole MH), children, Teresa and James Sandland, Jr. and Gary (Rebecca H), children, Ashlynn and Kaden Sandland; sisters, Rhonda and Becky Sandland; uncles, Terry Ivan and Robert Bendickson; adopted siblings, Peggy Jo Harrison-Walby, Tami Reiter-Platfers and Alex Kautzman.

We would like to give a special thanks to the 7th floor Doctors and Nurses of Sanford Health and also to Tami, Gloria, Matt, Nicole Many Horses, her brother, James and sister Becky for taking turns sitting with her during the night.
