Family was very important to Roberta. She loved it when her sister-in-law and brother Vida and Melvin, Margaret & Don, would visit or call. She was also very fond of her cousins, Gwen & Louis Stithem. She would talk about it for days.

Hugs, we’re Roberta’s specialty. She would give many hugs to staff daily. She loved to show us pictures of her family on her bulletin board, whom she was so proud of.Roberta's sense of humor, joking personality, and sincere heart for everyone she came in contact with was amazing. Roberta will always have a place in our hearts. When Roberta left us, God definitely received an amazing soul.
