Roberta Thompson

Roberta was born in Longdale, OK on March 12, 1936 to Robert and Georgia Conduff.

Roberta will be deeply missed by her family and the many people she touched over the years. Her devotion to her husband and family took top priority above all else. Roberta hosted family functions and gatherings for all occasions with grace and enthusiasm. Her strength and large presence far exceeded her small stature. She was an active member of the community, den mother to the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts alike and avid bird watcher. Roberta was a master gardener, planting Irises of all variations as well as writing a weekly column in the Yakima Herald.

Roberta was an expert cake artisan both for family and professionally. She was even bestowed the title of honorary Marine for her frequent cakes at the Marine ball. These were hosted at the Moose Lodge where she was also Senior Regent.

Roberta is survived by her husband of 64 years, Finnis “Ted” Thompson, son David (Roxanne) Thompson Sr., daughter Karen (Pat) Thompson, grandchildren Ted (Meghan) Thompson, Jason (Stacy) Thompson, Jimmy (Christal) Ruth, David (Kimberly) Thompson Jr., Amy (Peter) Rosser and Sarah Thompson, as well as 13 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents Robert and Georgia Conduff, brother Bob Conduff Jr., sister Gladys Dove and son Steven Thompson.
