Minnie Roberts Obituary
Minnie Lue was born on Jan. 29, 1934 to Lee and Florence Reay Jessen. She married Max B. Stevenson on Aug. 15, 1952. Together they welcomed a beautiful daughter Maxie B. Stevenson. Max was killed while serving his country in the Korean War.
Minnie Lue then married her sweetheart, Everett Dee Roberts on August 22, 1958. They were later sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake LDS Temple on Feb. 11, 1971. They added another beautiful addition to their family, Diana Lee Roberts.
Minnie Lue's greatest pride and joy was her family and the eternal plan of salvation. She was a pillar of strength for everyone she encountered and never left a soul untouched. She made friends everywhere she went and always saw the best in everyone. Minnie Lue believed in living a life filled with honesty and integrity and did so each and every day she was on this earth. Her work ethic and desire to help others was unparalleled. From the endless hours she volunteered at the school to help instill the love of learning in each and every child she taught, to the smiles she brought to each customer's face who came into Mohlmans store during the time she and her beloved Dee owned the business.
Minnie Lue and Dee valiantly served in the Durban, South Africa mission for the LDS Church from 1999-2000, which was one of the happiest times of her life. Minnie was able to bring her amazing strength, faith, and belief in the gospel to so many and forever changed the lives of the people she touched. Minnie Lue left a piece of herself in Africa which will live on forever in the hearts of those she taught and loved.
She is survived by her husband, Everett Dee Roberts, Altamont; daughter, Maxie (Randy) Hartman, Roosevelt; Diana (Steve) Hamilton, Evanston, Wyo.; 7 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren; sister-in-law, Norma Mitchell, Altamont; sister-in-law, Beth Jessen Altonah; brother, Gary (Rosalee) Jessen, Altonah and sister, Bonnie (Terry) Brotherson, Talmage.
Minnie Lue was preceded in death by her husband, Max B Stevenson; brothers, Dewey Jessen and Reay Jessen, her mother, Florence "Tootsie" Jessen, and father, Lee Jessen.
Funeral services will be held Wed., March 2 at 11 a.m. at the Altamont LDS Stake Center where there will be a viewing Tuesday evening from 6-8 p.m. and Wednesday from 9-10:30 a.m.
Burial will be in the Mountain Home-Boneta Cemetery.

Minne Lou was truly an elect lady. She always made everyone she spoke with feel special. She had a great testimony and loved the Lord. She shared her love with those she was around. She left wonderful memories in the lives of those she came in contact with. She will be missed but her memory will live on as she does with our Heavenly Father. Cynthia Knight

Minnie Lue was such a lady and a friend to all. My mother, Ruth Dastrup, always loved going in Mohlman's and having Minnie Lue help her pick out a gift and then having it wrapped. I had the opportunity to go to the care center in January on a Sunday and gave Minnie Lue a hug. May the Lord bless your family and especially Grandpa Dee. He took such good care of his lovely wife and friend. Love to your family from Carly and Janniece Leis

Dee & Family: I am so sorry for the loss of your sweetheart and companion. She was an Elect Lady and loved by many of us. My heart goes out to all of you in your hour of sorrow. May you find peace in the knowledge that you will see her again. She is just taking a little break from the job. May Heavenly Father bless all of you is my prayer.
Sincerely, Launa Street & Family
