OTISFIELD — Our beloved daughter, wife, mother, niece, cousin, and friend, Joanna (“Jodi”) Roma, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, April 12, 2023.

Jodi was born in Portland, Maine, on March 8, 1972, to Martin and Carlyn Watts. Jodi attended Cape Elizabeth schools and graduated from Catherine McAuley High School in 1991. Jodi met her husband, Troy, a Cheverus student, while at McAuley for which her parents were always grateful!

Jodi was a loving and compassionate person who loved to laugh and make others laugh. Her beautiful smile would light up your soul. Jodi loved and adored her husband and her children; they were her world, and she also always treated any child she knew as her own. If you were fortunate to be present when Jodi was with her children, the pride and joy radiating from her would take your breath away. She loved her home on the lake and sitting around the campfire with family and friends, laughing and telling stories. Her heart and her home were always open to anyone who needed a bed, a meal, a shoulder to cry on, or just a hug. Jodi’s dogs, especially Andy, were always in her lap or at her feet, including her newest kitten, Freya.

Jodi loved her church, St. Catherine’s of Sienna Church, and worked tirelessly as Cluster Business Coordinator for the Roman Catholic Church, the Parishes of the Western Maine Lakes and Foothills.

Jodi is preceded in death by her brother, Darren Watts, who has only been gone from us since January of this year. She is also predeceased by her son, Henry; her father, Martin Watts; her stepfather, Jim Kroitzsh; her grandparents, Ken and Adelaide Cleaves and John and Joyce Watts.

Jodi leaves behind her mother, Carlyn Watts Kroitzsh; her husband, Troy; her five children Trevor, Adelaide, Owen, Noah, Oliver, and bonus child Madison; stepsiblings Heather Kroitzsh, Steve Kroitzsh, Cindy Bailey, Kenneth Kroitzsh; bonus brother Nick Thompson; and more family members and friends than we could ever count.

When you think of Jodi, celebrate the good memories you have of her. Remember that life is fragile and too short, and she would want us to live it to the fullest. Jodi touched so many lives and will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Friends and family will be received on Friday, April 28, 2023, from 4 to 7 p.m. at Hall Funeral Home, 165 Quaker Ridge Rd., Casco ME 04015.

A Mass of Christian burial will be held on Saturday, April 29, 2023, at 10 a.m. at St. Joseph Church, 225 South High Street, Bridgton ME 04009. A reception will begin at 1 p.m. at St. Catherine’s, 32 Paris Street, Norway ME 04268.
