Bob’s career in trucking moved them to many different cities and states, eventually settling in Williston in 1980. While Bob was trucking Roberta loved going on the road with him. They loved camping and fishing trips with family and friends, especially when grandsons Andy and Danny would go with them. Roberta also loved to babysit. You just needed to give her a call. Roberta was active in Our Redeemer’s Lutheran Church, Women of the Moose, and American Legion Auxiliary. She loved and was faithful to her church. Roberta is survived by her son Rick, his sons Andy and Danny and their mother Char Borud; her daughter Becky and her wife Sheila; and her great grandsons (Andy’s children) Lyrik, Sage, Logan and Maverick. Roberta was preceded in death by her husband Bob, her parents, sister Lylas Bowman and her niece Barbara Cowin. The family of Roberta would like to thank you for all the prayers, love and support you have shown us. Roberta was loved by so many. She was known for her hospitality as she always had coffee and cookies ready, her loyalty, but most of all for her love of her family and friends. Roberta always greeted everyone with her beautiful smile. She will be missed. Memorials may be directed to: Our Redeemers Lutheran Church 1024 6th St. West Williston, North Dakota 58801
