Lou Roberts Obituary

Publish in a newspaper

Lou Ann (Skym) Roberts, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend, went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, September 10, 2025 at the age of 72. Surrounded by her husband of 54 years and her daughters, she peacefully entered into the presence of Christ. We celebrate her joining the heavenly host of angels, wrapped in the love of her family and Savior.

Born to Clinton and Margret Skym (preceded in death), Lou Ann grew up on the family farm in Fowlerville, Michigan, where hard work, faith, and laughter shaped her early years. She loved playing with her siblings and carried that same joyful spirit throughout her life. As an adult children were naturally drawn to her, whether her own grandchildren and great-grandchildren or her nieces, nephews, and their children, because she was so much fun, and full of life. Lou Ann dedicated over twenty five years as an office administrator at Avery Eye Care until her retirement in February 2024.

She is survived by her high school sweetheart and devoted husband of 54 years, Gerald Roberts; her two daughters Tracie (Frank) Fisher and Trisha (Matt) Bennett; her cherished granddaughters Alexandra (Eric) Frisco and Lisa Fisher (Chris Houck); and her dear great-grandchildren Jackson, Daniella, and Samantha Frisco.

Lou Ann is also survived by her siblings, Dennis Skym, Mary (Doug) Burnie and Darlene Huck, along with many nieces, nephews, and a multitude of extended family and precious friends whose lives were touched by her generous spirit.

She will be remembered for her steadfast faith, her thoughtful notes and cards, her laughter, and her ability to make everyone feel loved.

Visitation will be held at McGeehan Funeral Home, Keck-Coleman Chapel, 1500 Waterford Parkway, St. Johns, on Tuesday, September 16, from 6-8 PM and on Wednesday at the church from 10 AM until the time of service.

A service to celebrate Lou Ann's life will be held at St. John's Lutheran Church, 511 E. Sturgis St., St. Johns, on Wednesday, September 17, at 11AM with Pastor Jim Pearl officiating. Burial South Bingham Cemetery. A luncheon will follow at the church.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to St. John's Lutheran Church in St Johns, MI or The Basic Needs Center in St. Johns.

Though her presence will be deeply missed, the joy and love she gave will continue to shine in the lives of all who knew her. Well done good and faithful servant.
