Roberta was a lover of both family and community. She enjoyed bringing people together and sharing good fortune. Roberta with Max operated the Bostonian Motel – welcoming many folks into our community – lots of fun was always happening; bonfires, swimming, good food and good times. Roberta is well known to many as “Brown Owl” a title she was very proud of. Roberta held the position of Curling Club President for many years enjoying the sport tremendously and still an avid watcher as she whammied the teams she did not like.
