Beth Rokisky Obituary

September 17, 1960 - May 28, 2024 Beth Lynn Templeton Rokisky, of Clarksburg, W.Va., formerly of Chartiers Township, Washington County, passed away Tuesday, May 28, 2024, in Ruby Memorial Hospital, Morgantown, W.Va., from medical complications stemming from her lifelong struggle with Type 1 Diabetes, at the age of 63. Mrs. Rokisky, the daughter of Milton and Newanna Templeton, was diagnosed with diabetes at age 12. A 1978 graduate of Chartiers-Houston High School, she then graduated from Muskingum College in Ohio in 1982 with a degree in communications. She was a member of the Delta Gamma Theta sorority. Soon thereafter, she moved to Clarksburg, where she began her first job in marketing at Lowndes Bank, with most of her career focused on advertising for Clarksburg-area companies. Later, as an avid fan of professional golf, Mrs. Rokisky would land her dream job as marketing director for the Pete Dye Golf Club in Bridgeport, W.Va. Beth's greatest passion was spending time with family, friends and her grandchildren, along with her love of watching and attending professional golf tournaments. Rarely if ever would she complain about the challenges she faced, health problems included, and instead displayed an infectious, positive attitude and outlook on life. She is survived by her husband, Robert W. Rokisky, whom she married April 5, 1987; one daughter, Amanda Romano and her husband, Dr. Robert P. Romano of Bridgeport; one son, Brian J. Rokisky and his wife, Natasha Rokisky of Salem, W.Va.; four grandchildren, Amelia Romano, Paul Anthony Romano, Luke A. Rokisky and Joel C. Rokisky; two brothers, Milton Webster Templeton Jr. of Novato, Calif., and David Templeton of McDonald; two nieces, Abigail Templeton of Vikhog, Sweden, and Georgia Templeton of Bethel Park; mother-in-law, Fair Marie Rokisky and the late Joseph R. Rokisky; and the following brothers- and sisters-in-law, Arlene and Larry Iaquinta, Tim and Marie Rokisky, Danny and Jennifer Rokisky, Amy and Steve Oswald, Kevin and Robin Compton, Scott and Margaret Compton, Charlie and Barb Compton, and Debra and Steve Debs.
