Roxana Beth “Roxy” Burnham, 86 of Pittsfield, passed away suddenly on February 18, 2022 at BMC with her family by her side.
Born in Huntington, MA on June 4 1935, to the late Lawrence and Nellie (Rowe) Rock. She was a 1954 graduate of Chester High School.
She worked in Central Service at BMC for 20 years, where she made many lifelong friends, before retiring in 1998.
Roxy and her daughter Lisa were very close, sharing their love of shopping, cooking, lunches out and many long conversations. She was an avid sports fan with football and baseball at the top of the list. She shared this passion with her son Lance, with who she had many a discussion (sometimes quite loudly). Roxy enjoyed summer BBQs, where her homemade baked beans were always a hit. She enjoyed trips to the lake, country fairs, the beach and driving to VT to view the fall foliage. Celebrations spent with family were always dear to her heart. Roxy was a kind, loving and generous woman who will be missed by many.
Ms. Burnham is survived by her daughter Lisa Burnham of Pittsfield and two sons, Lance Burnham (fiancée Monica Andrade) of Pittsfield and Larry Burnham of Lee. Two grandchildren, Trevor Burnham and Samantha Burnham and two great grandchildren Demitri and Julia. She was predeceased by her brother Larry Rock, sister Carol Ann Barnes, and two granddaughters, Chelsea Lyn Burnham and Justina Marie Burnham.
Per her wishes, there will be no services.
