Wilma Jeanette (Armstrong) Roberts
October 30, 1929 – May 15, 2015
Willie, as her family and friends called her, was born to Lawrence and Ruth Armstrong on October 30, 1929 in Lompoc, CA where she lived most of her life. She worked hard raising her family and at the Rice Bowl for 15 years. There she met and enjoyed many friends, always having a smile and hug for those she cared about. In her retirement, she took pleasure in gardening and collecting old bottles and tins. She especially enjoyed being with family and in the company of friends. Our precious treasure, our blessing. She went home to her Lords loving arms on May 15, 2015 at the age of 85, with her family by her side.
She is survived by her siblings Bill (Mary Lou) Armstrong, Jim (Cheryl) Armstrong, Margie (Eldon) House and Betty (Richard) Gist; her children Pamela (Stephen) Bonham, Randolph (Dana) Roberts and Paula Mc Clure; nine grandchildren: Justin, Shawna, Randy, Andy, Christopher and Ryan Roberts, Amber (Ryan) Lopez, Adam (Jessica) Mc Clure, Aimee Mc Clure.
