Hazel James Roberts, 84, of Winnfield, passed away Sunday, May 12th 2013, at the Jefferson Manor Nursing Home in Baton Rouge, LA. She was the daughter of the late Charlie James and the late Veva James. Ms. Roberts is preceded in death by her late husband R.W. "Buddy" Roberts. Ms. Roberts was also preceded in death by five brothers: Casey James, Jessie James, Arthur "Doodle" James, Huey James and Troy James. Two sisters preceded Ms. Roberts in death, those being Thelma "Bill" James Horne and Vernell James Poisso.

Ms. Roberts is survived by four children: Jennifer Roberts Paulsen(Larry) of Marietta, GA; Gregory Roberts(Brenda) of Baton Rouge, LA; Todd Roberts(Robyn) of Jackson, MS; Shad Roberts(Sandy) of Vidalia, LA.

Ms. Roberts was the Head of the Nursery Department for many, many years at her beloved New Jerusalem Baptist Church. Ms. Roberts enjoyed reading her Bible daily, crafting, an excellent seamstress and a pretty good cook (although she didn't enjoy…and she was not bashful about telling you). Although mom was affectionately known throughout her extended family as "that stubborn thing" she was a wonderful mother, devoted wife and most faithful servant to her Lord.
