I was searching for my old friend and co-worker and so sadden to hear of her passing. We were nurses at MVNC for many years and both went to work at Leewood NH for many more years. She was an excellent nurse and caring person. She spoke frequently about her family and how much she loved them. I feel so grateful to have known her and to work and laugh with her.My thoughts are with her family and all those who knew her.
Sincerely, Diane Graves

In loving memory of a valiant women who fiercely loved her husband, children and grandchildren and would go to the ends of the earth to care for them. "Her children rise up and call her blessed" is a truth for her. While she is now in the very presence of Jesus, Roberta will be sadly missed here and remembered as one who gave all she could give for those around her.
I send my condolences to all and look forward to seeing her in eternity!
