• Services for Verna Lee Roberts Hambrick, 80, Bryan, Texas, will be at noon Saturday, Dec. 15, 2001, at Griffin Funeral Home Chapel with the Rev. Billy Smith officiating. Interment will be at Hillcrest Memorial Park.
Born on Oct. 5, 1921, in Luther, Okla., to Charles Franklin and Jeanette A. Bolling Roberts, she died on Dec. 11, 2001, in Bryan, Texas.
Verna lived most of her life in the Texas and Oklahoma area. She was a self-taught musician and shared her joy and love of music with all of her family and loved ones. Verna was also an accomplished seamstress and craftsperson. Her joy was to make items of use like clothes, bedspreads, and doilies for her loved ones. Most of all Verna liked to give of herself to those she loved and was a caring and giving woman who gave comfort and joy to her family and all that knew her.
She was active up to the day of her death despite tremendously difficult health issues. She was strong willed and fought her way back to health in order to spend her last days with her beloved pet, Smokey Joe, in an independent living facility where she cooked her own meals and spent her day doing the things she enjoyed. All who knew her could gain strength and courage from her examples. We are all blessed to have been a part of her life and her love.
She was preceded in death by her son, Clinton Roberts of Anchorage, Alaska; one sister, Edith Gill; and two brothers, Vernon Roberts and Dan Roberts, all residents of Ardmore.
Survivors include her sister, Willie Stevens of Ardmore; and brothers, Jack and Andrew Roberts of Oklahoma City; surviving children are Jerry and Pat Cooper of San Bernardino, Calif., Joan Murray of San Leandro, Calif., Joe Roberts of Stephenville, Texas, Susie and Paul Fagan of College Station, Texas, many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and friends.
Grandsons will serve as bearers.
