William Roberts

William “Bill” Roberts was born on November 25, 1942 and passed away on December 10, 2020. Bill was the son of Boyd and Lena (Carico) Roberts.

He was employed at Armstrong Tire for 34 years and then employed at Maytag until retirement. Bill accomplished his dream to build his home in the country. Putting in the tree farm and later the pond. This was the center of family gatherings. Surrounded by nature, fishing, hunting, and mowing was his kind of enjoyment. Two years of fighting cancer took his energy, but drew his heart to what each seek… Peace, in the inner man. Grace Church reached out to him and he was baptized bringing him affirming grace. He finished well.

Bill is survived by his wife, Karen (Wimber); sons, Scott (Sheila), Todd (Sherri), Sean (Cheri); daughter, Jill Roberts; grandsons, Cody (Juliana), Cory (Erin), Kyle (Megan), Casey, Dave (Kris) Overton; great-grandchildren, McKenna, Keegan Overton and Nathan Roberts; brother, Norman; sister, Judy Johnston; sisters-in-law, Beverly Roberts, Beth (Tony) Dietsch, Terry Gilley. He was preceded in death by his parents, Boyd and Lena; and brother, Larry.

Special thanks to Lance and Ryan Roberts.
