JoAnn J. Roberts

JoAnn of North Bend passed away peacefully after a lengthy illness on January 21, 2015. She was born at the Snoqualmie Falls Hospital on January 13, 1937 and raised in the Snoqualmie Valley. She was the youngest daughter of Frank and Anna Anderson. She was also a member of the Mount Si High School class of 1955.

JoAnn worked for the Snoqualmie Valley School District and retired in the mid-eighties as Head Cook for Snoqualmie Elementary School. Many students will remember her for being generous and kind, always having a smile, and peanut butter cookies.

She married the love of her life Gary (Buck) Roberts in August of 1954 and resided in Snoqualmie where they raised three children together. JoAnn enjoyed reading, crocheting, camping, and visiting with her many friends and family.

JoAnn is preceded in death by her husband, Buck Roberts, brother Robert R. Anderson, and sister Dolly Murphy.

JoAnn is survived by two sons Kevin and Brent, daughter Lisa and Ed Bottorff, four grandchildren, seven great grandchildren, and three great-great grandchildren.

As in everything in their lives, they too will share in death; therefore, a combined service was held for both Buck and JoAnn on January 30, 2015 at the Tahoma National Cemetery in Kent, Washington.
