The Bakersfield Californian 
Roberta C. Skrivanek
Services: Friday, Nov. 5, 9:30 a.m.

Graveside services will be held in Greenlawn Memorial Park, 3700 River Blvd., 
for Roberta C. Skrivanek, 82, who passed away November 1, 2004. Father Ralph 
Belluomini will officiate. 

Roberta was born June 8, 1921, in Chicago, Illinois. During World War II, she 
met a young, New York sailor, George Skrivanek. He asked her if she were a 
gambling woman, and if so, would she take a chance on him. She was, and she 
did. They were married April 14, 1944, at the Wee Kirk of the Heather Chapel 
in Glendale, CA. They celebrated 60 years of marriage.

In addition to wife and mother, Roberta had a professional life which included 
working for the Harlem Globetrotters, Bakersfield Police Department, and 
Bakersfield Civic Auditorium. After 30 years, she retired as Queen Mother of 
Harveys Antiques & Gifts. She was a consummate friend to many over her 
lifetime.

Roberta always enjoyed her family. She is survived by her husband, George; 
daughter and son-in-law, Pam and Fred Baugher; daughter, Kathy Brennan; 
daughter and son-in-law, Laurie and Ken Weir; son and daughter-in-law, George 
and Cindy Skrivanek; 9 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. She was 
preceded in death by her parents, Catherine and William Andrews and son-in-
law, Oliver Brennan.

The family wishes to express the deepest appreciation to the staff of 
Evergreen Health Care Center, Dr. Pat OConnell, and Hoffmann Hospice for the 
love and care they gave to her and to us. In lieu of flowers, please send a 
donation in Robertas memory to the Shrine of St. Jude Thaddeus, 2390 Bush St., 
San Francisco, CA 94115.

Visitation begins Thursday, 4:00 7:00 p.m.
