Joe worked on the railroad and transferred to Topeka, Kansas. They were there for two decades and then transferred to North Texas. After Joe's retirement they moved to Streetman, Texas where they lived until Joe's passing. Kim then moved to North Richland Hills to live with her daughter, Sheri Lee. Kim enjoyed what the world had to offer a self described Staunch Republican with an artful eye for all things creative: painting; ceramics; stained glass; jewelry making but most notably her cake decorating business. Kim won many awards for her cakes. On each of her wedding cakes she would leave a tiny hidden deer. It was her special and subtle way she would sign her work. Kim and Joe enjoyed weather spotting and amateur ham radio operating. Kim also had top score in her firearms class in which she was the only woman beating out many men in a time when life was different. Another of Kim’s passions was making sure she attended every school function or extracurricular activity for her children and grandchildren. After the children grew to adults she focused her attention on raising and showing German Shepard and Brittany Spaniel dogs. She worked with the Denton County American Kennel Club. She also visited nursing homes, bringing comfort with her therapy dogs. Kim is survived by her four children: Joe Roe, Jr.; Sheri Lee and Jeffrey Norris; Lauri Smith; John and Kathleen Roe II.
