“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Roxanne Herrick passed peacefully on the morning of April 3rd, 2021 at the age of 70. She was born to Virginia and Lane Herrick and grew up in Ganges on the shores of Lake Michigan where she fell in love with the nature that surrounded her. Her deep connection and appreciation of the natural world, its infinite beauty, and peace nourished and nurtured her.
She loved all animals, great and small, from her beloved horses to nursing those injured from the roadside. Her awe of nature led her to adventures building log cabins and journeys of endless hours exploring. Her wit, humor, and humility made for endless laughter, learning, and inspiration to those around her. She embodied compassion and spent the majority of her working life dedicated to caring as a nurse with the goal of alleviating suffering and uplifting those in her service.
