Roberta was born into the poor but loving family of Homer & Mabel Andrew in Gresham OR. Her sibliings were Richard, Betty Lee, Alice, John and Robert (her twin). They lost a sister Evelynn at a very young age. Her first 10 years saw the end of the roaring 20’s, the economic crash of 1929 and the Great Depression of the 1930’s. Yet in those circumstances, grew her deep love of family gatherings and celebrations Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter and more. Roberta was always style conscious. She became an excellent seamstress, learning to make all of her clothes. She graduated from Gresham High School (class of ‘42) six months after Pearl Harbor. She went on to Linfield College where she met Bill Huget. They were married in 1946 following Bill’s discharge from his service on the USS Casablanca. One memory of their courtship was attending a Sunday morning Service of the German Baptist Church the Huget’s were members of. The Service was conducted in German and accepted attire was black (men and women). Roberta arrived in her kelly-green outfit complete with matching hat. That morning many necks were craned and tongues set a waging.
Following their marriage in Portland (May 12, 1946) Bill & Roberta moved to Seattle, started a family and by 1950 moved to their own home in Arbor Heights on the corner of 35th & 106th. It’s here that deep friendships were formed. It was a true baby boomer community. They joined the Blenders Dance Club.

In the late 50’s the family joined the Evergreen Tennis Club up the hill from 5-Corners in Burien. In 1962 helped form and joined the Arbor Heights Swim Club. By the mid-60’s interest moved from tennis to golf. The Huget’s then joined Glen Acers Golf Club (Roberta was Club Champion).
In 1974, they sold the house in Arbor Heights and moved to Renton into a townhouse in Fairwood. A new set of friendships were formed. The result was years of Association gatherings, celebrations and BBQ’s. At this time they joined Meridian Valley Golf Club. Between Fairwood and Meridian Valley many great friendships were formed. Bridge club was one the staples. Yet, they still continued activities and gatherings with their ‘Blender’ friends. Roberta was usually at the center of the planning of these gatherings and celebrations. It was in the 2000’s that Roberta took on the role of caregiver to Bill as his health began to decline. She was able to join a Renton Bowling League, were she consistently scored 150-200 with her pink bowling ball.
In 2014 Roberta sold her Fairwood home and moved back to West Seattle and in with Buzz & Lisa. This was in anticipation of the building of a backyard cottage which Roberta shared with Dee Oliver (Lisa’s mother) moved in. It was here that she was able as her health declined to live in comfort and be surrounded by family and able to participate in holiday celebrations and gatherings. Roberta passed away in her sleep on the morning of July 15, 2019 in her Cottage.∼ROBERTA JEAN HUGET
