Born on April 6, 1941, in the quaint town of Alkol, West Virginia, Dottie was a beacon of love and resilience. She was the beloved daughter of John Marshall and Ova Barbara Roberts, who instilled in her the values of kindness, faith, and community service. As a devoted Christian, Dottie's faith was the cornerstone of her life, guiding her actions and inspiring those around her. Dottie's life was a testament to the power of family and faith. She was predeceased by her loving parents, John and Ova Roberts, and her dear sister Clarrice, and brother Bobby. Despite these losses, Dottie's spirit remained unbroken, and she continued to be the glue that held her family together. She is survived by her three children, Debra Kopera, Lorie McCombie, and Jimmy Rigor, each of whom carry forward her legacy of love and generosity. Dottie's nurturing spirit lives on in her eight grandchildren, who fondly remember her laughter and warmth. Her legacy further extends to twenty-two great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren, each a testament to the enduring love and strength of her family. Dottie is also survived by her siblings, Larry Roberts and Nancy Jowell, who were her lifelong companions and confidants. Her close-knit family was a source of immense pride and joy for Dottie, and she cherished every moment spent in their company. Throughout her life, Dottie touched the lives of many with her unwavering kindness and her ability to see the good in everyone. Her home was always open to those in need, and she had a remarkable ability to make everyone feel like family. Her legacy is one of love, compassion, and an unshakable belief in the goodness of people. A service to honor and celebrate the life of Dottie Lou Roberts will be held on April 8, 2026, at 1:00 PM at Chaz E. Davis.
