Sally Ann Roberts, 65, of St. Joseph, Mo., passed away Jan. 9, 2022 at a Highland, Kan. healthcare facility.
She was born in Kansas City, Mo. on Dec. 9, 1956 to Roy and Beverlee (Childers) Roberts.
Sally graduated from South Holt High School in 1975. She furthered her education at Platte-Gard Business College and Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph.
Sally spent many years living and working in Falls City, Neb. She worked at Community Medical Center. She was an active member of the Falls City Christian Church, where she served as Deacon, on committees, and as a part of the bell choir at Christmas.
After moving to St. Joseph she worked at Living Community of St. Joseph as a dietary aide until her health decline necessitated her reluctant retirement.
Preceding her in death were her parents; aunts and uncles, including special uncles Claude and Clyde Roberts, who, along with her paternal grandmother, Anna Roberts, helped raise Sally in their home; nephew-in-law, SSgt Kirby Weaver; and stepfather, Thomas “Bo” Fitzmaurice.

Services were held on Monday, January 17, 2022 at 11:00 am at the Chamberlain Funeral Home in Oregon, Mo. Interment was at Maple Grove Cemetery.
