Mary Roberta Woerner, affectionately known as "Gaga," passed away peacefully, leaving behind a lifetime of love, curiosity, and cherished memories with her family and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, William Robert Woerner and Mary Delaney Phillips Woerner, and by her brother, Christopher Woerner.

Roberta is survived by her children: Mary Elizabeth Woerner, Albert James Hawkins Jr., "Jim" and his wife Khoury and William Delaney Hawkins, known as Billy, and his wife Nannette. She also leaves behind her beloved grandchildren, Ethan Drake Hofmann, Mary-Louise "Lily" Hawkins.Roman Delaney Hawkins.

She is further survived by her siblings, Bruce Woerner (Pat) and Kate Boyer (Clark) of Virginia, along with countless extended family members and dear friends whose lives she touched.

Roberta had a deep love of reading, sewing, and studying astrology. She found joy in learning about the stars and the mysteries of the universe, often sharing that fascination with those around her. Her warmth, humor, and unique perspective on life will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Though she is gone, her memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved her. Her family will think of her often, especially whenever the full moon lights up the night sky.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Fairfield County Friends of the Library.
