Inez Josephine Roberson

She was born September 22, 1926 in State Road, North Carolina. Her family moved to Winston Salem when Inez was only one year old, where her father owned and operated grocery stores in the city for many years. Her mother, Della Carter Roberson of Wilkes County and father, Hermon Butler of Yadkin County, preceded her in death. Inez graduated from Hanes High School and Draughons Business College. She worked for local businesses, especially attorneys in the city until retiring in September 2006.

Being an only child, Inez is survived by many cousins.

Sister Roberson gained interest in Jehovah’s Witnesses from her great aunt and uncle who professed to be of the anointed. She was baptized October 24, 1954. Inez and her mother traveled the world on trips arranged by the Watchtower Society, including much of Europe, the Bible land countries, and Australia.

Inez will be remembered for her firm belief that everything she learned and taught was proved from God’s work, the Bible.

The funeral service will be Wednesday, June 6th at 2pm at Frank Vogler & Sons Funeral Home, 2951 Reynolda Rd. The family will receive friends for a visitation at 1:30pm prior to the service. Burial will follow the service at Forsyth Memorial Park.
