Dorothy Roberta was born August 11, 1939 to Dorothy and Robert Kitch in Vom, Nigeria.
Roberta grew up in Nigeria with her missionary parents and younger sister Sharon,
later settling in the United States when she was a teenager, living in New York, Illinois and Texas.
She met her husband James Daniel McMeens in Corpus Christi, Texas and was married to him in 1961. She and Dan had two sons, Michael and Christopher.
Dorothy Roberta is preceded in death by her parents and son Christopher who was a physical therapist.
While devoting her life to being a mother and wife, she also was intellectually curious and completed a bachelor's degree in psychology at Mary Hardin Baylor University. Her house is filled with books she enjoyed reading. From early childhood, she was gifted artistically and her paintings hang on the walls of her home in Copperas Cove.
Dorothy Roberta is survived by her husband, an army veteran of the Vietnam war; her son Michael, a mechanical design engineer; and her sister, Sharon, a psychotherapist.
A Service of Resurrection and Celebration of Life will be held at St. Christopher's Episcopal Church, 2800 Trimmier Rd, Killeen, Texas at 11am Saturday June 16, 2018.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Christopher McMeens Memorial Scholarship for Physical Therapy at Mary Hardin Baylor University, Belton, Texas.
