Roberta or Bobbie as most knew her, spent many years in Hampden and Winterport before moving to Corinth where she and Larry lived for 19 years.

She loved hosting each grandchild at her home for the weekend, always spoiling them. Bobbie will be remembered as a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend.
