Roberta Ann Robinson, a vibrant spirit born on October 19, 1947, in Monahans, Texas, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by loved ones on October 10, 2025. She was a remarkable woman whose life was defined by her free spirit and adventurous heart, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew her.
After graduating from Tremble Tech High School in Fort Worth, Texas, Roberta pursued her passion for beauty and style by completing cosmetology school. She spent many years as a dedicated cosmetologist, touching the lives of her clients with her creative flair. Eventually, she found fulfillment in a new path as part of the postal service where is was the Post Master of the Walnut Spring Post Office, where her friendly demeanor and knack for conversation brightened the days of many.
Roberta's love for life was evident in her countless hobbies and adventures. She was a wanderer at heart, traveling extensively across Canada, Alaska, Mexico, and the United States. Her great sense of humor and ability to engage with anyone she met made her journey through life even more enriching. She adored collecting antiques, sewing, and creating crafts, always searching for new projects to embrace. Even more so, Roberta had a special affinity for dress-up, embracing every opportunity to don costumes for themed dances—Halloween being her favorite holiday. When the music played, you could always count on her to dance joyfully as if no one was watching.
Roberta's proudest accomplishments, however, were the relationships she forged throughout her life. She cherished her family deeply, and it was no secret that her beloved Robert, affectionately known as "Precious," held a special place in her heart. She is survived by her loving son, Michael Billman, and his wife Christi; son Adam Hilliard and his wife Carissa; and son Robert Billman and his wife Johnnie. Her legacy of love continues through her grandchildren: Kristen Nelson, Jake Billman, Whitleigh Oliver, Shakota Williams, Dane Billman, Sammi Sears, Cole Hilliard, and Storie Hilliard, along with her 11 great-grandchildren.
Roberta is also survived by her devoted sisters, Loretta Green and Sue Hollis. She now joins those who have gone before her, including her mother Velma Robinson, father Hartwell Robinson, brother Harvey Robinson, granddaughter Porschia Collette Billman, and great-grandson Lincoln Michael Sears.
As we celebrate Roberta Ann Robinson’s life, we remember a woman who truly lived life to the fullest, never shying away from an adventure and deeply loving her family.
