ROBERTS, Dorothy Marie
Dorothy Marie Roberts passed away from her loving family on September 15, 2004 at her home in Atascadero, California. Her legacy to all was a joy and passion for life. For Dorothy, youth was not a time of life, but a state of mind, a product of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions, a predominance of courage over timidity, an appetite for adventure. With her truly free spirit, Dorothy lived a rich and fulfilling life. Dorothy was born February 28, 1925 in New York City. After moving with her family to San Francisco, she met and married Bill in 1947 and settled in Atascadero in 1949. While raising four children, Dorothy was an active participant in the community, volunteering at schools, in her church, and, most recently, with Loaves and Fishes. An avid reader, Dorothy worked in the Atascadero school libraries for many years. After retiring, Dorothy and Bill wintered in Mesa Arizona for 15 years, making many dear friends and playing a vital role in the volunteer activities of the Monte Vista Mobile Home Park. Dorothy's lifelong passions included playing bridge and bunko with her loving friends, traveling with family, and enjoying the beauty of the great outdoors from the shores of the Pacific to the great deserts of the Southwest. She is survived by her loving husband of over 56 years William P. Roberts; her son Mark Roberts of Phelan, California; and daughters Kathleen Rutowski, Tempe, Arizona; Christine Clickard, Atascadero, California; Lynn Roberts, Bayside, California; her beloved grandchildren Sarah Schneider, Phelan, California; Deanna Roberts, Phelan, California; Diana and Devin Rutowski, Tempe Arizona; Julia Clickard, Atascadero, California; Olivia and Travis Hoffman, Bayside, California; nieces Ann Bergstresser and June Roberts, Atascadero, California; and nephew Dan Vanderpriem, Oakland, California.
