Our Story

The Julie Roth Memorial Foundation was created after tragedy struck our family.

On December 23, 2022, Julie Roth, was traveling with her two small children and they were caught up in a 47 car pile-up on the Ohio Turnpike. Julie and Edna Rose, the baby she was carrying, did not survive, but her two other children did.

Injured and afraid, the two toddlers waited hours to see a familiar face while emergency responders worked to identify them and contact their father, who was at work. Ayla and Rory Roth are alive and well today. They are the  reason for the ROTH ID TAG™ creation.

Keeping families connected in emergency situations has been our mission since that tragic December day. We have worked with First Responders and CPSTs to develop a product that is compliant and accessible. We are parents and have worked with parents to fully understand the needs of children and individuals under a guardianship.
