Roberta Ann Heers

Roberta Ann (Golter) Heers, lovingly known as Bobbie to her family and friends, went to be with her lord Jesus and her love Terry on August 13, 2026. She was a cherished mother, grandmother, Oma, and friend whose presence will be deeply missed.

Bobbie was born on July 28, 1941, to George and Martha Golter; and was the youngest of three siblings. Her humble beginnings began on a farm in Campbell, Nebraska where she would carefully but intrepidly pitch in by gathering eggs even though she was deathly afraid that when she was reaching under the chickens there might be a Garter snake. The Golter family eventually moved to Englewood, Colorado which is where during her senior year of high school she met the love of her life, Terry Glen Heers who attended a rival high school. They married soon after meeting and as the wife of a military and eventually construction manager they moved frequently and joked at their 25th wedding anniversary party that by then they had moved 33 times. Many great memories were made in towns across America, but Colorado was always home. They eventually settled in Grand Junction, Colorado which is where she volunteered at the Visitors Center and the VA Medical Center. She made many friends and loved being the Queen of her Red Hats group. She owned MANY hats long before she started her Red Hats chapter and loved being known as "The Hat Lady" at First Presbyterian Church and especially enjoyed dressing up in her special Easter outfit and beautiful giant purple hat with lace ribbons that cascaded off the back and almost touched the ground. Bobbie and Terry celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in September 2019 which was a blessing for them, family, and friends as it would be our last big celebration where we were all together.

Services will be held at 11:00am on Saturday August 29, 2026, at First Presbyterian Church, 3940 27-1/2 Road, Grand Junction, CO 81506.  We encourage everyone to wear something that reminds you of Bobbie.  Red and purple for her love and devotion to her Red Hats group, a hat to honor The Hat Lady, or black if you are more comfortable in traditional attire.
