Roberta Shaklee Mills

Roberta was a good person! She was so happy and kind. She was the first person to show me the ocean. She took me on all kinds of excursions when we visited Oregon.

Our condolences to the Mills family. Ted and Roberta are our neighbors that live across the street from us. We have enjoyed going to their Lake House on many occasions. Roberta will be greatly missed. The Mills have even joined us on a wonderful Jamaica trip that we took years ago. We all had so much fun. Much love ❤ to all of the family.

Berti was the vice president of the DAR Cameo society while I was President. She always had a smile and we all enjoyed knowing and working with her. She will be greatly missed.
