Roberta Lees

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Roberta Louise (Herman) Lees. Born on December 29, 1949, in Lima, OH, she left this world to await Christ's return on July 17, 2024. 
 
Roberta was a godly woman of perseverance, patience, and love. She dedicated her life to helping others, lived out Proverbs 31: 10-12, and her children called her Blessed. She graduated in 1968 from Wintersville High School in Ohio. She moved to Bowling Green in the early 80s finding jobs at Longs Cleaners and Walmart. She married Ian Lees in 2003 and they made their home in Tipp City. They recently moved back to Bowling Green to enjoy retirement together. She left a legacy of faith that touched everyone around her. Throughout her life she fought two battles with cancer and a traumatic brain injury. It was through these trials that she remained steadfast in her relationship with God. 

She had a very special sweet tooth for ice cream and was rumored by her family to be Sundae Station's best customer. She found joy in crafting everything from Barbie clothes and Halloween costumes to bridal gowns. She even took time to crochet items for babies in the NICU. Moments spent with her family were her happy place. 
 
Roberta is survived by her husband Ian; children: Wendy (Frank) Weldon III, Wendell Lee (Rachel) Keyser Jr.; step-children: Isiah, Paul, Ian D., and Kevin Lees; step-brother: Terry (Pat) Williamson; niece and nephew: Jennifer and Davin King; grandchildren: Amanda, Frank IV, Abraham, Emily, Erika, Austin and Raydon; great-grandchildren: Braelynn and Jack.  She was preceded in death by her parents Robert Herman and Helen (Hughes); Jim Williamson her step-dad that raised her; sister Becki King and her special Aunt Dee Dee (Jeanne Ramey).
 
Contributions in Roberta's honor may be gifted to The Traumatic Brain Injury Foundation.
 
Services will be private
