Roberta Lee Studie-Maize was born May 25th, 1979, the daughter of Darrell Keith Studie. She attended Briggs Elementary School where she proceeded to get her GED and became a paraprofessional. She chose this career due to her love for helping troubled children. She was a very compassionate person who changed the life of many people. Roberta married Gary Martin Maize in 2010, they were married for 9 years until his passing. Roberta and Gary enjoyed raising pigeons and riding their Harleys. They raised Robertas 3 children, Bailie, Ricky, and Saiane. Roberta was naturally a homebody with the exception of traveling for work or her martial arts. She never tired of the drive home she always said "sunsets are prettier in Briggs." Bert always had the best sense of humor, her smile lit up any room she was in. She was kind hearted but had a wild streak, she never hesitated to help if she could. She had boundless energy, she was constantly moving around doing anything from cleaning to martial arts. She was awarded her black belt in Aikijutsu in June of 2018 by two close friends George Ritzhaupt and Carl Farinelli. There was no better day then time well spent with best friend and significant other, Thomas White, nothing could separate the two of them. They loved each other and her eyes would light up every time she talked about him. Her life wasn't always good but she took it one day at a time. In mid 2020 Roberta and Toby announced a very surprising 4th pregnancy, they were so excited when she found out she would be having Tobys first biological daughter. Roberta passed from this life on December 31st, 2020 from a car wreck that also claimed the life of her baby girl Livia Jane Studie-White. These two angels have left many with a sense of loss and longing that will never heal. Roberta was 41 years old and Livia Jane was due Jan 29th,2021.

They went home to join Roberta's father Darrell Studie, grandfather Bob Price, and husband Gary Maize.
