Mrs. Roberts’ death occurred August 16, 2003, in Arlington, Texas. Born December 20, 1928, in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, Mrs. Roberts was preceded in death by her parents and brother, John Wilhelm. While in Africa as a secretary for the U.S. State Department, she met and married William A. Roberts in April 1964. The family moved to Pontotoc County in May of 1971. She was employed as secretary for the OSU County Extension Office in Ada from 1975 until her retirement in 1994. Friends and co-workers will long remember the postcards and gifts from her travels that she enjoyed so very much, especially those shared with her daughter. She kept the art of letter writing alive with her many cards and letters to those in her acquaintance. She always had a "little something" for those close to her for every occasion. She wanted no accolades; she just enjoyed giving. Her thoughtfulness will be greatly missed. Jeanne is survived by husband, William A. (Bill) Roberts of the Veterans Center, Ardmore, OK and daughter, Ann Roberts of Arlington, TX.
