Roxanne Marie Rogan (Dowd)

Age 85, of Montour Falls, NY, passed away on November 7, 2026. Roxanne was born on August 28, 1941, and grew up in Elmira, NY. She went on to earn a B.A. in sociology and economics from Elmira College in 1963, and a master’s degree in social work from the University of Buffalo in 1969.

She is survived by her sons, Thomas Rogan (Jennifer) of Horseheads, NY, and Michael Rogan (Stacia) of Baltimore, MD, and her grandchildren, Tyler and Madeson. She was predeceased by her parents, Madeline and Robert Dowd, her brother, Douglas Dowd and her former husband, Thomas Rogan.

Roxanne enjoyed music and respected honesty, and she was determined to always stay open minded and keep learning. She was known for her bright personality, easygoing nature, and warm smile.

In keeping with her wishes, Roxanne donated her body to medical research. A private service will be held for family at a later date. She will be laid to rest at St. Peter and Paul’s Cemetery in Elmira, NY, once her cremated remains are returned to the family.

Her family would like to thank the staff at Seneca View for the care and compassion they showed Roxanne during her time there.
