She was born in Louisburg, North Carolina and was the daughter of Euette Roberts Jr. and Maude Maloney and was the sister of Ken Roberts and wife Marie, along with Kim Wilson and Cindy Alexander. She was a dedicated employee at ADT security for 18 years. She loved working in her yard to make it look heavenly by planting flowers and feeding the birds. She also looked forward to going to Hillsdale United Methodist Church every Sunday to worship the Lord and thank Him for all of the blessings He had given her.
Her true joy in life was making memories with her six grandchildren who loved their Grammy. She spoiled them rotten and would do anything to see them smile.
