Carli Roach Obituary (1982 - 2022)

Our sweet Carli passed away peacefully while holding her mom’s hand and with her dad standing vigilant at her side, on Monday, December 26, 2022, from liver failure, at the young age of 40. Carli truly loved life through simple pleasures, whether hanging with her beloved childhood friends or all her new friends she made along her journey. She loved to have fun and never missed a chance for a good prank or a good scare, whenever the opportunity presented itself. She was a loyal friend and loved them all to her end. She was a fierce defender of her brother and sister. She would get right in the face of anyone who talked badly about them or hurt them. It broke her heart to see anyone hurting. She had a great smile, a bright spirit and a laugh not soon to be forgotten. Her greatest loves were her dog Jersey, her nieces Morgan, Corinnah, Lillian, and Blakely, all her friends children, and of course her family.
