Roxane Marie (Adams) Pratt

Roxane Marie (Adams) Pratt, age 72, passed away peacefully in the comfort of her home with her family at her side. She was diagnosed with appendiceal cancer in early 2021 and lost her hard-fought battle on March 24, 2025. She was born July 8, 1953, in Oakland, California, at the Oakland Naval Hospital to Evelyn and Ivan Adams. She was married to Steven Pratt for 49 years until the time of her death. Together they raised Roxane’s infant son, Stephen, from an earlier marriage. Stephen was adopted by Steve. The Pratts made their home in Tremonton, Utah.

In 1958 Roxane, along with her parents and younger siblings Mark and Brenda, located in Brigham City, Utah – the site of employment in the aerospace industry. She progressed through high school in the Brigham City school system. Although working for periods in both retail and volunteer positions, Roxane dedicated her time to home-making and to using her special skills of dexterity in creating endless works of art from thread and yarn. Everyone she knew, and scores of unknown recipients, had been blessed with gifts of scarves, sweaters, doilies, blankets, on-and-on, for decades.

Roxane loved to craft her specialties in the luxury of their ultra-equipped fifth-wheel trailer. Often, for several months at a time, she would produce her creations while camping out in some beautiful setting. Steve was either golfing or fishing. Trips in that trailer, and trips previously in other RVs, were the expressed principal joy of her life. It didn’t hurt that Steve catered to her every whim.

Roxane’s mild manner, and her loving and forgiving nature, was her hallmark in life. No matter what her travails or pain level were during her final four years of life, she always considered the welfare of others before her own. She had the unique capability to elevate everyone’s spirit and to project a feeling of happiness to those around her.

Brenda, Roxane’s sister, was at her side constantly in the final days of that painful struggle. Brenda and Roxane’s husband Steve, her faithful and tireless long-term caregiver, ensured that Roxane knew she was loved as much as she loved her family. Her family included the families of Uncle Bryan and Aunt Barbara as well as Steve’s extended family. All of whom loved her dearly.

Roxane is survived by her loving husband Steve, son Stephen, sister Brenda, father Ivan, and stepmother Deanna Sue. She was preceded in death by her mother Evelyn and brother Mark.

The family would like to thank Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City and her oncology Dr. Via Florou and her care-taking staff whose compassionate care softened the trials of Roxane’s final days.

A Celebration of Life will take place on Saturday, April 12, 2025, at 11 A.M. in the Brigham City Cemetery.
