DORIS H. ROBERTS

 

Leverett, Doris H. (Black) Roberts, 92, of North Leverett, died Tuesday, October 21, 2014, at Baystate Greenfield, surrounded by her children.  She was born on September 12, 1922, in North Leverett, MA, to the late Nathaniel and Margaret (Madge) Leckey Black.  She attended North Leverett Grammar School and Amherst Regional High School.  On May 17, 1941, she married Richard (Dick) H. Roberts (originally from Plainfield), who predeceased her in October of 2000.  They enjoyed 59 years of marriage.  They met while both working for The Watson Family in Moores Corner.  They settled in North Leverett; she worked at the Florence Brush Shop during World War II, while Dick was away at war.  In 1950, they built their home, in which they raised their family and where Doris resided for the remainder of her life.   Her lifetime passions were taking care of her family and home, watching her children and grandchildren play ball, and “fan”atically watching (and “critiquing”) the Red Sox play. 

 

She is survived by her four children:  Cheryl Elligett and her husband, Tom, of Tampa, FL.; Richard and his wife, Ellen, of North Leverett; Randall and his wife, Terrilyn, of North Leverett; Candace Jernigan and her husband, John, of North Leverett; 12 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren.  Doris was predeceased by brothers, James and Harold Black and sister, Eileen Wetherby, all formerly of North Leverett.

 

Her family is appreciative and would like to thank her caregivers for their loving dedication in assisting her during the past year.

 

A memorial service will be held at The North Leverett Baptist Church, at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 25, 2014, with Pastor Verne Williams officiating. Burial will follow in Plainview Cemetery, with a reception to follow at The North Leverett Baptist Church.  There will be no calling hours. 

 

Donations in Doris’ memory may be made to The North Leverett Baptist Church, 70 North Leverett Road, North Leverett, MA  01054.

Arrangements are under the direction of Douglass Funeral Service, 87 N. Pleasant Street, Amherst, MA.; web www.douglassfuneral.com.
