Roberta was a member of Phi Tau Omega sorority, Omega Nu Chapter, Staves United Methodist Church, and member of American Legion Post 136. For 92 years, it was a life well lived. She loved time with her family, and was an avid fan at all their sporting events, ringing a cowbell mercilessly and cheering with her whole heart. Dinner with her family she was sure to have chicken and noodles, but she would probably tell you to eat dessert first. She had a lifelong love of music, was known for her ability to turn any ordinary task into a party, and loved her traditions.
