Remembering Roberta from many years of Square Dancing, and a few dances in the barn after moving to their new home. I have a few of her ceramics that I use on Halloween and think of her and all the Square Dance memories, happy memories. Marianne Gill
Roberta will be missed from the Curves lunch bunch. She said what she meant and meant what she said. She let you know how she felt like it or not. She was a good person and friend. Who would have believed her age. She didn’t let anything slow her down.

Roberta & Wheeler were the first friends we made in square dance class. We had so much fun dancing with them over the years. It was always a delight to spend an evening with them.
So sorry for your loss.
