Preceding her passing was her father, Scott Herald Partridge, Jr.; and brother, Clark David Partridge. Roxanne was born September 18, 1958, in Portland, Oregon, to Scott and Nadine Partridge. Shortly thereafter, the Partridges moved to Lexington, Massachusetts, where she grew to young adulthood over the next 13 years. The Partridges returned to the west coast, moving to Pleasanton, California, where she attended high school, graduating in 1976. After high school, she attended Brigham Young University, where she  married and started her family. She later transferred to San Diego State University where she obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree in English, graduating in 1981. After college, she moved to Federal Way, Washington.

She married again in 1997, to Craig Scoville and then moved to Idaho Falls, Idaho, where they raised their blended family. Throughout her life, she was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Roxanne was sensitive and deeply empathetic. She was also funny and slightly mischievous. Perhaps most of all, she excelled at loving things: She loved art. She loved movie soundtracks. She loved books. She loved musicals. She loved princes and princesses. She loved toys. She loved holidays (and decorating for them). She loved her family heritage. She loved listening to comedy as she drove. She loved being a fan (of her kids and her teams). She loved blankets, popcorn, and movies (lots and lots of movies). She loved feeding others cinnamon toast and pumpkin bread. She loved gift giving (especially pumpkin bread). She loved cats. She loved babies (and their chubby cheeks). She loved make believe. She loved to help others (perhaps too much sometimes). She loved laughing. She loved her faith and her Heavenly Father.

Most of all, she loved her family (and we loved her).
