J.C. passed away Friday afternoon, May 24, 2002 at the Claremore Veteran's 
Center, where he had made his home the past four years. He was 85. Born Feb. 23, 
1917 at 
Turkey Ford, Oklahoma, a small town northeast of Grove, J.C. was the son of 
Preston and Bertie Frances Roberts. He attended several schools in both Oklahoma 
and Kentucky. 

J.C. and Anita Hanes met when two of his sisters introduced them. They were 
married April 18, 1939 at Fairland, Okla. 

After a brief time Fairland, they moved to Grove. With work hard to find in 
those days, J.C. found himself in several different states, sometimes leaving 
his family behind in order to provide for them. 

In 1945, he served his country, but due to the war's end and his 
responsibilities at home with a wife and children, he was honorably discharged 
early. He worked as a construction carpenter after being discharged. 

With his skills, he built the family a home in California. But when it was 
complete, they chose to sell the home instead and return to Oklahoma. 

The Sequoyah community has been home all through the years. 

Anita passed away on October 17, 1998.
 
A devoted husband, father and grandfather, J.C. had a strong commitment to his 
family through the years. 

Those that survive are his children, Lavon Isaac-Lower and her husband Clyde of 
Claremore, Bettie Fuller and her husband Ben of Edmond, Sue Trickey of Owasso, 
Darrell Roberts and his wife Sharon of Adair, and Sandi Kissler and her husband 
Leroy of Claremore; 14 grandchildren, 22 great-grandchildren; three sisters, 
Opal Smith of Tehachapi, Calif.; Ruth Crew of Hesperia, Calif.; and Aleta 
Vomocil of Sun City West, Ariz., and a host of other extended family and many 
friends, especially those that lovingly cared for him at the VA Center these 
last years.
 
He was preceded by his parents, wife, infant daughter, Patricia Ann and sister, 
Vivian Roberts.
