Catherine “Cathy’ B. Roberts, 60, resident of Willard Road, widow of Tony Franklin Roberts, died August 22, 2020 at Self Regional Healthcare.
Born in Greenwood March 15, 1960, she was a daughter of the late Jerrie H. Barre and the late James Barre. Mrs. Roberts was a graduate of Piedmont Technical College and was employed by Lander University, Information Technology Service Department for over 20 years.
She was a member of Emerald Baptist Church.
Cathy lived her life as an inspiration to us all. She persevered through her first kidney failure, the loss of her husband, Tony, and the loss of their only child, Jeri; the loss of her much-appreciated transplant kidney, “Melissa”, that gave her good health for 20 years. She never complained and always said, “God is good” and remained positive. She loved her Lord and her family with “all her hearts.” Her family will continue on with her spirit and strength by always remembering her motto, “just keep swimming”, and we will forever love her with all our hearts. We know she is resting in peace with her God, her Tony, and her Jeri.
Family remaining to mourn her loss, celebrate her life, and to forever carry her in their hearts are her father and mother-in-law, Franklin and Darlene Roberts of Ware Shoals; sister-in-law, Denise Hill and her husband, Rick of Ware Shoals; beloved nieces, Valerie E. Holland and husband, Bruce, of Ware Shoals, Alesia E. Vandiver and husband, Barry of Williamston, Cassie H.

In addition to her parents, husband and daughter she was preceded in death by her sister, Ali Cogdill; and brother, Jim Barre.
