Marcia Jayne Roberts passed into the presence of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on August 11, 2016. Marcia was born on March 30, 1927 in Rising Star, Texas. She grew up in Shawnee, Oklahoma where she married her high school sweetheart, Cliff Roberts, at age 18. Eventually they had four children and moved to Dallas in 1962, but her marriage ended in divorce and she became a single parent. Marcia raised all four children on her own, sometimes working three jobs to make ends meet. During all those years she lived with great joy in the simple things of life ,and she cherished her family. Over time Marcia became to be know by everyone as Mimi. Frequently people would remark that they wished they had a grandmother like Mimi. Amazingly, at age 84, Marcia remarried Cliff Roberts and they had 3 wonderful years together. She had a steadfast faith in Jesus that carried her through many difficult experiences, including the deaths of two of her children. Her trust in God was evident up to the day of her death.
