Roxie Schescke
Roxie Schescke (Tacina Waste Win) age 59, passed away on Sunday, September 12, 2021 in West Richland, Washington surrounded by family.
She was a caring wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and friend to many. She leaves behind her a legacy that is almost too extraordinary to put into words. Her impact stretches further than the life she created for her loved ones but extended to many more than she will ever know. She was a true role model, community leader, and inspirational business leader . As a Native business owner she proved that we are not limited by our circumstances, with compassion and perseverance we can overcome anything.
She was born In Omaha, Nebraska on January 16, 1962 but spent her youth in Gothenburg, Nebraska. She has always been an extraordinarily hardworking woman and spent much of her time raising her beautiful family and creating the greatest possible life for them. It was on March 8, 2002 that she married her best friend and love of her life, Tim Schescke. From that point forward it was undoubtedly clear to anyone that came into contact with them that true love certainly does exist. It was in 2005 in Niwot, Colorado where the couple created their business, Indian Eyes LLC. She would go on to achieve many unbelievable things, from being named the National Native Woman Business Owner of the Year to serving on a board for the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs. She was involved in countless fundraisers and community projects. She helped raise money for Bikes for Tikes, which provided bicycles for local and Tribal youth. After Hurricane Katrina, she and her team spent 2 years cleaning and rebuilding the city of New Orleans, Louisiana. Giving back and helping others was always important to Roxie, “ Never forget where you came from, and always give back where it’s needed”.
Her Lakota name is translated as “kind hearted woman/generous woman” – Tacina Waste Win. She was a true Lakota warrior. As a proud Lakota woman, she strived to bring awareness to life on the reservations. Whether it was donating bicycles to kids, or taking school supplies to elementary students, she always found a way to leave a lasting impression on everybody she met. Roxie was a true advocate for children.
Above all Roxie cherished the moments she could spend with her huge family. She was truly the anchor of her family and she will be missed dearly by all. Roxie is survived by her husband Tim Schescke. Her children; Stacia Darling and significant other Kent Heisler, Elijah Donner and spouse Jessica Donner, Justin Schescke and spouse Carrisa Schescke, Joe Schescke and spouse Lala Schescke.

So very sad for me to hear of the passing of Roxie. I worked for Roxie and Indian Eyes in 2007 at the Savannah River Nuclear Site in Aiken, SC. I’ll never forget meeting Roxie for the first time. Not only was she a beautiful woman but a beautiful person who cared deeply for everyone working for her. My prayer is that the family will be held by the loving hands of our Saviour Jesus Christ and that the legacy of this wonderful woman will live on.
I didn’t know you had well but I have worked on your house now you’re up in a new house making rest in peace and strive
Roxie was such an amazing example! We appreciated the relationship we established with her and her family! We are all truly better for knowing her. Sending lots of prayers your way! ❤️😢🙏🏼
I am so sorry to learn that Roxie is no longer walking with us; she was truly kindness incarnate.
So sorry to hear of Roxie’s passing. I heard about it today. I enjoyed working with she and Tim when they were affiliated with HKA. She was an extremely kind and generous person to me, both she and Tim and I was happy to support their efforts on the Mox project when we worked together. Prayers up to Tim and her family
I had the honor and privilege of meeting Roxie through my profession as a banker, but what made that even sweeter, was that we became friends. Roxie is truly one of a kind and I always wanted to be just like her! She inspired me not only professionally, but personally. Her engagement in the community in which she lived, as well as where she was from, was always something I admired. She encouraged me to listen to my callings and follow my passion. We shared a lot of common interests and always turned a quick business call into a longer chat about life. I will always revere her wise words and guidance, kindness and grace. She has left an indelible mark on me, and I know for certain, one on so many countless people. The ripple effect of her generosity will touch so many for generations to come. May your spirit run wild and free, sweet Roxie…you will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Let us all honor her legacy by sprinkling kindness everywhere.
I’m so sad to hear about Roxie leaving all of our lives. What an amazing human being that I will miss deeply. My deepest condolences to Tim and the whole family, my thoughts are with all of you. You will always remain in my heart…love you Roxie!

Roxie was my friend growing up with children. We had many wonderful talks. She always had great ideas and was driven to put her ideas to life. Roxie had such a beautiful soul. I was blessed to have her as a friend. Roxie was so giving of herself and kindness that set her apart. She had this contagious Smile and I would always call her ‘Foxy Roxie’. She was beautiful inside and out. Heaven gain an angel and left a hole in my heart. She will be greatly missed. Bless her family and pray they find comfort and hold all those great memories in their hearts. Love you Roxie. 💞
