Roxanne Shabani was born into this world on May 8, 1987 in London, England to her adoring parents, Mohammad and Mahnaz Shabani. Roxanne also had a loving little sister, Lily, who looked up to her every day. Roxanne unfortunately left us on June 25, 2010 at 23 years old.
Roxanne was one of a kind, always vivacious and bubbling with personality. Roxanne was not only intelligent, having recently graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a degree in graphic design, but she was also immensely talented. Roxanne had the ability to turn anything into a stunning piece of art. She could see the beauty in anything and everything.
Traveling and seeing the world was so important to Roxanne, with her favorite place being the mountains of North Carolina. She really loved all nature and its beauty, and she cared about the planet very much.
She had so much to offer this world, and her close friends and family will never stop missing her.
