CHRISTINE NORMA JEAN ROBERTS
Christine Norma Jean (Warren) Roberts was born April 15, 1928, in Putnam County, Missouri to Orville Lyle and Susan Blanche (Tracy) Warren. She left this life on July 29, 2010, at the Corydon Nursing and Rehab Center at the age of 82 due to complications from COPD.
Christine went to Hornocker School for first and second grades, Tinkham School for third through eighth grades, Powersville High School for her freshman and sophomore grades and Sewal Consolidated School during her junior and senior grades. She loved to learn and devoured books as quickly as she got them.
On April 15, 1948, she married Gerald Roberts and to this union six children were born: Gerald, Stanley, Stephen, Delbert, Janice and Joetta.
Christine was a stay at home mom until Gerald became disabled. She then worked at Gross Galesburg in Chariton as a “bundle girl.” She also became the treasurer of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, which she enjoyed. When Gross Galesburg closed, she worked at Chamberlains in Albia until they closed. She then worked at Neely Manufacturing in Corydon for over 20 years until her health started to fail.
Christine continued her love of reading, quilting, crosswords, Jeopardy, and Wheel of Fortune. Christine was a savior to her family, always giving unselfishly of herself and never taking for herself. She will always be remembered with love.
She is survived by siblings; Shorty (Don) Warren and Garold Lee Warren and his wife Marilyn; sister Mildred Megonigle and husband Sam; and her four children, Stephen Roberts and friend Ruth Husted, Delbert Roberts, Janice Cribb and Joetta Cortesio and husband Steve, grandchildren; Eric Roberts, Keith Roberts, Randy Roberts and wife Heather, Melanie Roberts, Daniel Roberts and wife Sheila, Zachary Roberts and wife Jennie, Gabriel Roberts and wife Alexis, Jacqueline Cribb and friend Matt Sponsler, Alexander Cribb, Melissa Vandemark and husband Richard, great-grandchildren; Anthony, Alan, Jasmine, Helix, Joseph, Emily, Liam, Danielle, Morgan, Maddox, Hagan, Savannah, and Bradley, and many nieces, nephews, friends and co-workers.
Preceding her in death were her parents Orville and Blanche Warren; husband Gerald; sons Gerald and Stanley; her father and mother-in-law George and Leatha (Cooper) Roberts, son-in-law Bob Cribb; and siblings Kermit Warren and his wife Ruby, Olivia Robb and husband Donald, Junior Warren and wife Bereneice, Florence Wyatt and husband Richard, Tracy Warren and wives Retha and Irene, Margaret Sowder and husband Wilbur, Harold Warren and wife Rose, Ronald Rex Warren and sisters-in-law Erma Warren and Wilma Roberts.
Per Christine’s wishes her body was cremated and a memorial service will be held at a later date when all her family can attend.
