Christine Oliver Roberts

She was the second oldest member of Tabernacle Baptist Church where she joined in 1943 and met the love of her life, husband Leonard and they married in 1946. She was a faithful member and loved to sing in the choir. She had read her Bible thru over 22 times. Her Lord, husband and family were the joy and center of her life.

The family would like to give a special thank you to Clapps Assisted Living in Pleasant Garden for all the love and care they gave to Christine. She loved them all.
