Actor Audie Gemora wrote in a Facebook post: “I am in shock and greatly saddened to hear about the untimely passing of Roxanne Lapus, one of the gentlest, cultured, Christ-like people I know. She was a doyenne in the theater and artist management having established SRO which introduced dinner theater in Manila and handled so many great talents. She was a board member of Trumpets in its early years along with another theater stalwart and her best friend Gus Aldeguer. She was always a caring, loving director. We last worked together in RWM’s “Sound of Music” but she always made her presence felt by giving affirming comments on many of my posts.
Roden Araneta used to kid her about her beautiful legs. And boy did she have the best pair and knew how to show them off. Little solace…I imagine Roxanne will have more laughs w Gus and Rod in heaven.”
