Roberta Lizcano-Riojas Obituary

January 13, 1951 - July 3, 2018
Loving Mother, Grandmother and caring friend, "Bobbie", passed away last week in Midwest City, OK after a short, courageous battle with cancer.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Frankie and Rosie Lizcano and brother Alphonso; and is survived by her son, Ernest Vidal Jr. and daughter, Monica Ortega; four brothers: Frankie (Benita); Rudy (Amelia); Anthony (Cheryl) and Edward (Sylvia); and three grandchildren; Stephanie, Leanna and Eric.

She graduated from Fox Tech High School in 1969, was a member of the student counsel; school Honor Roll; and a proud member of the Red Jackets Honor Guard.

She began her civil service career at Kelly AFB and later continued at Tinker AFB, retiring as a Classification Specialist.

A Memorial Mass will be held on Saturday, 14 July at 10:00 AM at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, 618 S. Grimes.

In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests donations in Roberta's name to the Perpetual Church Improvement Fund. Interment will be private for family at a later date.

My deepest condolences to the family and friends during this difficult time. There are no words that can describe the pain of losing someone so beloved. May you find comfort and peace in knowing that your loved one is in God's memory because those who pass on "are precious in his eyes." Psalms 116:15; 1 John 4:9.
