Roxanne started Family Plaques & More after receiving a name plaque at her baby shower.  Her son's name was hand painted on the plaque, and although it was beautiful, Roxanne thought it must have been very time consuming to make.  And this got her thinking, "What if I could produce plaques for any name and do it without hand-painting or stenciling the lettering on the plaque?"  After realizing that by simply modifying the design and construction of the plaque she could go into business for herself, Roxanne left her 10-year career in marketing and created The Family Plaque.  In 2007, the company launched its web site, offering customers an enhanced, state-of-the-art environment to create their plaques.  And in early 2011, Roxanne began expanding the company's product offering and changed the name to Family Plaques & More.

Roxanne continues to manage the day-to-day operations of the company, as well as spend time with her son.  "I started this business as a way to stay connected to my family.  The fact that I’m making a product that keeps other families connected as well - what could be better than that?"
