LaRue (Torrie) Roberts was born in Burley, Idaho, on November 11th, 1921 to Albert and Flora May (nee Hull) Torrie. LaRue was the third child in the family. On November 2nd 1938 she met Joseph Roberts who was attending Calgary Technical School. On October 2nd, 1941, LaRue, at the age of 19, married Joseph Roberts in the Cardston, Alberta, Temple. A week after they came home from their honeymoon, Joe started his service in the armed forces. Joe and LaRue moved to Red Deer, Alberta so they could be together while Joe was in basic training for a few months. Once Joe left to serve overseas during the war, LaRue spent her time between the Ranch in Grassy Lake and Calgary. During that time Joe's pay combined with hers afforded her the opportunity to buy some land. When World War II ended Joe returned home to find that his wife LaRue had purchased 40 acres in Woolford and a piano. They purchased more land from Joe's dad that included an unfinished rock house that was made from the same granite that the Cardston Temple was built from. Throughout her life she had a love for music and the arts. She was well-known for her yodelling, singing, giving readings, and won many competitions for her talents. She and Joe also sang on many occasions at various events. Her favourite music was country and the twangier the better. LaRue felt it was important that her children also develop their musical talents and enrolled most of them in music lessons. LaRue at the age of 55 was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, which over time limited her movement but not her talents. Joe cared for her and when they were moved into the Good Samaritan's residence they were often heard by staff singing, which caused the staff to find out where the party was! LaRue is survived by her 6 children and their spouses, 45 grandchildren and their spouses, 57 great grandchildren, extended family, and many friends. She leaves a legacy of love for her family. Funeral Service held at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, GARDEN PLACE CHAPEL, Magrath, Alberta, on Tuesday, March 12, 2013. Interment to follow in the Woolford Cemetery.
