Shelbia Jean Roberson

Jean was born in Martin County on December 4, 1937, daughter of the late Ernest and Carrie Dell Ayers Beach. She was a homemaker and attended the First Pentecostal Holiness Church. Jean loved to travel and visited many countries throughout the world especially in Europe, the Middle East including Israel and Egypt and Central America. She had a “green thumb” and loved to garden. Her yard was always blooming and beautiful. In her later years she moved back home to Williamston and loved to spend time visiting with family and friends, being involved in church, and reading her Bible. She was a devout Christian and loved the Lord. She was a sweet, kind, and caring person and was very happy as she spent the last few years of her life in love with and spending lots of time with her friend C. D. Forbes.

She is survived by sons Ricky Roberson and wife Sheri of Wake Forest, and William Michael Roberson of West Melbourne Florida, brothers Russell Beach and wife Dorothy of Williamston and Phillip Beach and wife Diane of Arab Alabama, sister Alice Roberts and husband James of Arab Alabama, grandchildren Aaron Roberson, Ryan Roberson, and Andrew Roberson, Melissa Roberson and Sarah Roberson all of Raleigh, and several nieces and nephews.

The family will receive friends immediately following the service at the cemetery and other times at the residence of Russell & Dorothy Beach 203 S McCaskey Rd.
