Roberta Strohl Obituary

Strohl, Roberta Marie (née Farwig) of St. Louis, MO, fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church, entered into eternal rest on September 9, 2025, in Columbia, MO, at the age of 80 after a long and valiant struggle with dementia and other health issues.

Beloved wife of the late Ralph R. Strohl; dear daughter of the late Joseph and the late Ann (Zoeller) Farwig; loving mother of Stephen (Jeannette E. Pierce) Strohl; cherished grandmother of Henley Pierce Strohl; dear sister of the late Rita Lammert and the late Robert Farwig; treasured sister-in-law, aunt, cousin, and friend to many.

Roberta graduated from St. Mark the Evangelist High School in 1962, married Ralph in 1964, and devoted many years of service to the Parkway School District. She was known for her dependability and compassion-always someone others could count on, whether offering support, sharing a laugh, or simply being present in times of need.

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the remarkable caregivers at The Westbury Senior Living, Superior Blessings, and St. Croix Hospice for their extraordinary care, which brought comfort beyond words during Roberta's final days.

She will be deeply missed, and memories of her love and kindness will remain forever in the hearts of those who knew her. May she rest in eternal peace. A private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date to honor Roberta's remarkable life.
