Janet Krugman Roberts

Janet Krugman Roberts, born in Atlanta on January 29, 1947, to Manuel and Harriet Krugman left this world on December 15, 2015. She was a painter, sculptor, pianist, bridge player, devoted wife, daughter, sister, mother, aunt, cousin and friend. She was preceded in death by the love of her life, her husband, Alan Roberts; her brother and sister, Maurice Krugman and Marcia Singer, and her parents. She is survived by all who were lucky enough to have had their lives touched by hers; most notably, her sister, Karen (Warren) Steinberg; her brother-in-law, Billy Singer; her children, Meredith (Eric) Sidewater, Paige (Eric) Mintz, Marc (Louise) Roberts, Jeff (Sharon) Roberts, and Gary (Lisa) Roberts; grandchildren, Matthew and Celeste Sidewater, Jordan and Elliott Mintz, Ashley and Jesse Vila, Lesley, Brittany, Christopher, Ally, Abbey, Jonathan and Alexis Roberts and great-grandchildren Anthony and Gabriella Vila and Dylan Roberts; best friend, Joanie (Bob) Hardcastle and too many nieces, nephews and dear friends to name individually. Janet was the one so many turned to for love, support, advice, encouragement, and just a listening ear and she will be missed more than words can say. Janet was generous to those she loved and to those in need. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to Wounded Warrior Project or Heifer International.
