Her legacy of love and kindness is carried on by her devoted husband of 63 years, Harry Marshall. Together, they built a beautiful family, including their son Erick and his wife Mollie Hamby, daughters Sherry Richards, Anissa and her husband Clark Watren, and Heather and her husband John Vent. Roberta was the proud grandmother of eleven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, and she also cherished her two step-grandchildren. Her brother, Robert Hobbs, survives her and holds dear the memories they shared.

Her nurturing spirit and exceptional skill comforted countless patients and their families during times of need. Her colleagues remember her as a beacon of strength and a compassionate advocate for those in her care. In keeping with Roberta's wishes, a private service will be held at Casstown Cemetery. Her family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Hospice of Miami County or to a charity of their choice, as a tribute to Roberta's lifelong commitment to helping others. Roberta's warmth, wisdom, and gentle presence will be deeply missed by all who knew her. She leaves behind a rich tapestry of love and memories that will continue to inspire and guide her family and friends in the years to come.
