She was a dedicated member of the Ladies Philoptochos Society where she served as President along with several other elected positions. As a member she enjoyed chairing and participating in events to help those in need.

Roie was raised by her parents who were Greek Immigrants. She was very proud of her Greek heritage and culture which she instilled in her children and shared with her family and friends.

Most of Roie’s married life was spent in Quincy, Florida. Roie was actively involved in many clubs and organizations, including: Girl Scout troop leader, garden club, and bridge club.

With much persistence and determination, Roie started a career in Real Estate later in life. During her 20 years as a realtor with Century 21, she excelled and became a member of the million dollar club.

Roie had a vivacious personality and enjoyed entertaining. She was an impeccable and gracious hostess, hosting holiday events in her home for family and friends. She also enjoyed floral design, interior design, preparing Greek cuisine and baking, especially her famous sour cream pound cake.

Mostly, however, she had a love for her family. She made sure, no matter what the obstacles, she stayed connected with her siblings and was there physically and emotionally for her children. She demonstrated patience, kindness, honesty and mutual respect for others.

Her light continues to shine in all the lives she touched. She will be truly missed.
