Roxanne S. Marsh
Concord, NH – Roxane Seymour Marsh died peacefully in her home in
Concord, New Hampshire with her husband by her side, on Monday
September 22, 2025. Roxanne was born on October 9, 1946 in Hartford
Connecticut. Roxanne attended Southern Connecticut State College and
married her husband Peter Marsh on July 12, 1969. She was a loving
wife and caring mother to her children Ethan and Moriah Marsh. Peter
and Roxanne honeymooned in Prince Edward Island and returned there
with their family in 2019 to celebrate their 50th anniversary. Her
brother Stephen Seymour joined them on this trip, and it was a
wonderful family vacation full of cherished memories.
Roxanne was a lifelong advocate for children. She was an ongoing
social worker at the NH Division for Children Youth and Families, and
she worked to protect abused and neglected children. Roxanne also
trained and supported foster parents many of whom were caring for
adolescents. It was very challenging work and she worked tirelessly to
help the families that she served.
After her work at DCF she worked at the Belknap Merrimack Community
Action Program for the Head Start Program. Roxanne supervised the
family service workers at sites around Merrimack County. Roxanne
enjoyed helping families and ensuring that they received the early
education and parenting support they needed for their children.
After her retirement in 2014, Roxanne volunteered for Second Start as
a tutor and was matched with Miryam Haroun. Roxanne and Miryam
developed a beautiful friendship that included both of their families
and spanned the rest of her life.
Roxanne was predeceased by her parents Josephine and Ronald Seymour,
and her brother Stephen Seymour who moved to Concord after his wife
died in 2021.
Roxanne is survived by her husband Peter Marsh, her son Ethan Marsh,
her daughter Moriah Marsh and her husband Jeremy Hathaway and their
son Owen Hathaway.
