Roberta Bailey Obituary
Roberta graduated from Gull Lake High School with the Class of 1968. She was an avid gardener who loved to take care of her flowers, enjoyed cooking and baking, collecting Betty Boop trinkets, getting lost in a good book, and being outdoors. Many will remember her as a funny, sarcastic, unfiltered lady who never hesitated to speak a piece of her mind whether you asked for it or not.
Roberta is survived by her son, Larry McNees; mother, Margaret Carlin; grandchildren, David McNees, Michelle McNees; 4 great grandchildren with 1 more on the way; brother, James Carlin; brother-in-law, Billy Bailey; and sister-in-law, Genie Bailey.
She was preceded in death by her father, Richard Carlin; and husband, Patrick Bailey.
At this time cremation has taken place and no services will be held.
Memorial contributions may be made to The Salvation Army, 400 Capital Avenue NE, Battle Creek, MI 49017.
Arrangements entrusted to the Baxter Funeral & Cremation Service. 269-788-9800. www.baxterfuneral.com.
