Aunt Roberta was one of my all time favorite people. She was always so loving and so spunky! Always had a present of some sort to give when she saw you. The most giving person I’ve known and had the biggest smile, twinkle in her eye. She was very loved and will always be remembered and greatly missed.

So sorry for the loss. She was always sweet but occasionally you could catch her letting out a zinger then laugh with twinkle in her eyes. May you spend the holidays sharing all the fun and heart warming stories.

I always remember Mrs. Swinney being one of the most kind people. I went to her daycare for quite a while while she ran it. I was the one that always seemed to get into trouble with teachers, but she seemed to know that most of the time I was protecting someone or the situation wasn’t quite what it seemed at first glance. She was the one that would step in, grab me and listen to what I had to say, even at that young age. She also knew when it came to myself my anxiety would get the best of me and I always remember her allowing me in her office to sit and decompress for a bit. I felt loved and cared for under her care and was very upset when she wasn’t there any longer. I left soon after as I remember and daycares were just never the same so I would ask my mom if we could find her and go back to ” a Mrs. Swinney’s daycare”. She was an amazing woman that knew that teaching children they had a voice and their feelings were heard and cared about was important. She taught me that the person in charge wasn’t always a bad guy and kids were better for her encouragement and love. She will surely be missed.
Aunt Roberta was one of the kindest sharing person I have ever met. I started helping Uncle Don when I was 13 years old. I saw more of Aunt Roberta more than my Mom. She would ffed me breakfast, lunch, and sometimes even dinner if we workrd late. She was a world class cook and anyone who ever sat at her table left hungry. She was proud of her family and her accomplishments. Her eyes would light up everytime anyone would come to sit at her table. You have left a void in my heart with your passing but I have all of our memories and I will never forget them. We all loved you and will miss you.
Mrs. Mosier was always one of our favorite customers and we looked forward to our conversations weekly while we maintained her property on Bethal Rd. My boys will always remember Mrs. Mosier, and they will be forever grateful for the gifts this caring and loving woman sent with me to take home to them. We are deeply sorry for your family’s loss. Mrs. Mosier will always be remembered and cherished by every life she so effortlessly touched.
To all the Swinneys and Mosiers, the Freeman Family sends our heartfelt condolences. Roberta was very special to us. We was a wonderful neighbor. She, Joe, and our Kyle had a very close relationship.. as he spent lots of time fishing and visiting with them. Roberta and Don shared milk and permitted us to hook onto their water line our first year in our house and during the ’77 blizzard. Our friendship never waned even after she moved. We’ll miss her dearly.
