Wanita B. (Conway) Roberts

June 13, 1922 — March 14, 2018

Wanita Berniece (Conway) Roberts, 95, of Borden, Indiana, was surrounded by her family as she passed from this life into the arms of our Lord on Wednesday, March 14, 2018. She left this life anxious to see her husband, Bill, and others awaiting to welcome her. "Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies" (Proverbs 31:10). Wanita was a life-long member of the Church of Christ where she taught many Bible classes and loved her church family.

She was born on June 13, 1922, in Borden to the late Clarence Henley and Etta Mae (McKinley) Conway. Along with her parents, Wanita was also preceded in death by her husband of 73 years, William Roberts; son, Larry D. Roberts; and sister, Wresse Stout.

Left to cherish her memory are her children, Patricia Hoke and her husband Paul, Lonnie Roberts, Yvonne Koransky and her husband Ralph, and Wendy Roberts; grandchildren, Jason Hoke and his wife Melanie, Jeffrey Hoke and his wife Kim, Jerold Hoke and his wife Kim, Rachel Matson and her husband Jason, and Rebecca Koransky; great-grandchildren, Jessica Shirley and her husband Mike, Taylor, Michaela, Haleigh, Brayden and Alexis, Audrey, James, and Hunter Hoke, and Jason David Matson; great-great-grandchildren, Mikey and Jasmine Shirley; and numerous good family friends.

The family wishes to extend a special thank you to Justin Edelen and Trey Burkhart for their love, visits, and devotion in her golden years.
