June 2, 1928 – August 6, 2011
Roberta H. Lancaster passed peacefully from this life into her heavenly home on Saturday August 6, 2011.
She was born on June 2, 1928 in Fountain, Colorado to the late Robert & Helen Christian. After graduating from Fountain High School, she moved to Colorado Springs where she met and married her soul mate of 57 years Everett Lancaster. They were blessed to have 4 children together. Roberta began her 40 year career at Mountain Bell (Qwest) where she faithfully served as a long distance operator.
Generous, relational, cheerful, encouraging, compassionate, true friend to all, zealous for life, passionate for Christ, lover of family and friends. These are all words that perfectly describe Roberta.
Grace Presbyterian church was richly blessed to have Bobbie, as she was called by her friends, service as both a regular church member and a faithful deaconess.
