Roxanne "Roxie" Marie (Cluff) Allen

Roxanne “Roxie” Marie (Cluff) Allen, age 46, passed away on Monday August 28th with her family by her side.

Roxanne was born in Toledo, OH on April 12, 1977 to Elzie “Mike” and Jeanne Lemon Cluff. She married the love of her life, Bill Allen, at Walbridge Park on November 3, 2001.

Roxanne graduated from E.L. Bowsher High School in 1995 where she was involved in art and band. She became a licensed cosmetologist in 2002. Roxanne received her certificate in accounting through the University of Maryland in 2008.

Roxanne traveled with Bill during his time in the Navy living in Virginia Beach and Sicily. They then returned to Toledo in 2016.

Roxanne was a Big Bright Ball of Sunshine, outgoing and boisterous, she loved her people fiercely! She could walk into a room full of strangers and come out being friends with each and every one! Roxie shared her love of tie-dye, tiaras, canning, and gardening. You could find her downtown every Saturday morning enjoying the farmer’s market. Roxanne was definitely a caregiver, a trait many said came down from her maternal grandmother.

Roxanne leaves behind to cherish her memory, her husband of 22 years, Bill Allen; mother, Jeanne Cluff; in-laws, William & Virginia Allen; sister, Regina (Jon) Knitz; nieces, Jessica & Jordan Molnar, Paige and Cameryn Knitz; nephews, Justin and Jackson Molnar; many aunts, uncles and cousins; and friends who became family.

Roxanne was preceded in death by her father, Elzie “Mike” Cluff; grandparents, Paul & Bernice Cluff and Virgil “Billy” & Yvonne Lemon; aunt, Nancy Cluff Culickio; and uncle, Paul “Butch” Cluff.
