Obituary of Louise Fay Roberts

On Saturday, August 13, 2011, Louise Faye Roberts, 88, died at Merion Gardens Assisted Living where she was a resident for the past three years. Prior to that she resided in Pennsville in the house that she and her husband built. Louise was the wife of the late Frederick Harding Roberts. She is survived by her loving children, Frederick Douglass (Bonnie) and Georgeann Mokoid (William), 5 grandchildren, Dawn, Jacqueline, Andrea, Christine, and Douglas, and 8 great-grandchildren. Louise was an active member of Saint Ambrose Lutheran Church in Pennsville. She was retired from many years of service at the IGA grocery store in Penns Grove. She enjoyed cooking for her immediate family and those she embraced as her extended family. Always up for a card game, Louise enjoyed people, especially if she could cook for them in between hands. Above all, Louise loved her family, weekly visits to Shirley's Hair Salon, and making "Eat Me Quick" for her adoring son-in-law. Raise a glass to Louise this Thanksgiving, ironically her 89th birthday, where she would appreciate a dish of oyster stuffing and dried corn - a staple of her Pennsylvania Dutch roots. On Wednesday, August 17, a viewing will be held at the Lutheran Church of St. Ambrose from 9-10 am. A church service will be held at 10 am, immediately followed by interment at the Eglington Cemetery, Clarksboro, NJ. In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations to Saint Ambrose Lutheran Church, 443 South Broadway, Pennsville, New Jersey 08070. The family would like to extend their sincere appreciation to the staff of Merion Gardens and the staff of Compassionate Care for their wonderful and compassionate care of our mother. The families of Doug Roberts and Georgie Mokoid.
