Christine Ruth Graham Roach

Christine Ruth Graham Roach, 70, beloved wife, sister and friend passed away after a long battle with her health.  She returned to the arms of her Father in Heaven, Friday, March 6, 2020.  She was born April 4, 1949 to Eldon Clyde Graham and Lillian Robertson Graham.
She graduated from Clearfield High School and was proud to be a Falcon. One of her major achievements in high school was when she played Bloody Mary in the musical “South Pacific”. She served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints in Lansing, Michigan, and later as a Stake Spanish speaking Missionary in Fresno, California where she attended Fresno State University. She graduated from Weber State University with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature.
Her career at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) began at age 19.  She progressed in her career, completed her college education, and retired from the IRS as an Offer and Compromise Agent.
She married her soul mate Ronney LeRoy Roach on December 20, 1991 and was later sealed in the Salt Lake City Temple.  She loved to spend time with him troll fishing from the boat and camping.  Her hobbies included quilting, painting, coloring with crayons and colored pencils, playing a 12 string guitar while singing, and collecting most anything she could buy. She was very well educated and full of knowledge and facts.  Her strength was caring for her mother and mother-in-law as they aged.
She is survived by her husband Ronney LeRoy Roach, her brother Eldon Clyde Graham, Jr (Liliosa) of Texas, her sister Sandy Ponto (Bob) of Kentucky, and a stepson John Roach (Tiffany) of Salt Lake City, along with a step granddaughter Madison.
