Obituary

Roxana Salazar, age 55, passed away peacefully December 26, 2022 due to Stage 4 Cancer. She was born May 20, 1967, in Lamesa Texas to Janie Chapa. She followed her heart and Nick Salazar in July of 1990.

Roxana loved people and loved staying busy. She was always cooking something new, creating new recipes of Chinese, Pizza, Salmon, desserts, and so many other entrees. She was a dedicated mother first and foremost. She treasured her children and grandchildren. She was first to always spoil her babies as she called them. she protected them dearly as well. She made friends easily and everywhere she worked. Roxana was career minded thus, she worked for companies who best fit her interest from working with high school kids at Coleman High School in Midland Texas or part-time retail at J C Penny to accounting & billing specialist in North Dallas.

Roxana loved to listen to 1980’s music. Some of her favorite artist included: Fleetwood Mac, Peter Cetera, to mention a few. However, her all-time favorite artists were George Strait and Neil Diamond. Roxana and Nick would often attend many concerts and enjoy long road trips to attend music concerts. They shared a lifetime of storytelling to their family and friends of their adventures.

Roxana and Nick built their families foundation on love, family, and faith. She was strong in her Christian faith and strived to have her children and grandchildren grow in their faith as well. Through her faith she always lifted her family in prayer for strength, healing, and safety. It was this strong faith that carried her through the hardship of the cancer in her body and the knowledge that the cancer could not be cured. Roxana did not show any fear of death, she knew in her heart of the blessings that would come to her and her family as her time here, was getting close.

Roxana was very strong during her battle with cancer, she had a lot of good memorable days with family members as they came to visit with her and share memories. Whether it was family or friends reaching out to her via social media, it always brought a smile to her face. She enjoyed her family and her friends. Her son and daughters supported and cared for her during this crucial time.

Roxana passed away peacefully the day after Christmas with her family at her bedside. She had a Wonderful Christmas day sharing gifts with our two daughters, son-in-law, and three grandchildren.

Roxana is survived by her husband Nick Salazar, her son and two daughters their husbands: Andrew Salazar, Valerie Salazar and Brandon Govan II, Andrea Tayler and Branden Tayler: plus, three grandchildren Brandon III, Arianna, and Calvin. Sister Julia Escobar, niece Michela, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. All these she loved and touched deeply

A virtual celebration of her wonderful life will be held Thursday, January 26th, 2023 at 7:00pm CST.

    I will continue to keep your family in my prayers. I met Roxana at Coleman High School. She & Nick also came to my wedding! I also believe my students catered Valeries Quinceanera unless my memory is wrong. She always would speak about her children and all the things they were doing. She was always a hard worker and was always flexible when they changed what she was doing in the school. They students also knew she cared and she pushed them to complete to high school. Once I was finally able to start family she would check on me and ask about Sage. I am better for having the chance to know her!

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
