Jamie Elaine
Roth
Aug 10, 1952 — Sep 7, 2026
Jamie Elaine Roth (Deloach), aged 74, passed away on September 7, 2026, in Houston, Texas. Born on August 10, 1952, in Corpus Christi, Texas, Jamie was a respected attorney, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and a passionate entrepreneur.
Jamie’s academic journey was marked by excellence. She graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of History from the University of Houston Clear Lake, where she was a proud member of the Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society. She continued her education at South Texas College of Law, earning a Doctor of Jurisprudence in 1988. Jamie dedicated her career to law, becoming a Certified Attorney and Counselor at various prestigious courts, including the Supreme Court of the State of Texas, the United States District Court Southern District of Texas, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Her legal career spanned several key positions, including roles at the Child Protective Services, Nueces County Attorney's Office, and Calame Linebarger and Pena Attorney's Office. Beyond her legal pursuits, Jamie and her loving husband, Dane, managed Roth Cabins in the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee for 14 years, where they created countless cherished memories and enjoyed the serene mountain life.
Apart from her professional achievements, Jamie's personal life was filled with activities that brought joy not only to her but also to those around her. She loved reading about history, traveling, gardening, cooking, and embraced the country lifestyle with enthusiasm. Jamie was also skilled in canning food and had a penchant for shopping at Goodwill. Her lunch dates, coffee sessions, and baking, especially making Christmas cookies each year with her children and grandchildren, were activities that brought her immense joy. Jamie cherished her pets, raising countless Collies and loving her cats, as well as talking to her chickens. Jamie's beautiful, long, curly hair, laughter, and ever-present smile were contagious, bringing light and warmth to all who knew her.
Jamie is survived by her loving husband, Dane A. Roth, and their children, Julie M. Guerrero (Carlos), Joanna M. Gutierrez (Miguel), and Jeffrey M. Oldham. She was a cherished grandmother to John M. Barrera, Megan E. Barrera, Gabriella R. Guerrero, Micah A. Gutierrez, Maya Oldham, Nicholas C. Gutierrez, Julian M. Gutierrez, and Luke A. Gutierrez. Jamie's siblings, Linda Atkins (Butch), Becky Johnson (Don), Jerry Deloach (Diane), and Cindy Moore (William), along with many nieces and nephews, also survive her. She was preceded in death by her parents, Betty Sue Campbell Deloach and James Harold Deloach, and her grandchild, Christopher Daniel Gutierrez.
