Obituary
Helen Mae Roberts
After a noble struggle with cancer, the matriarch of our family, Helen Mae "Mimi" Roberts passed away on the morning of May 25th, 2015. She is remembered and respected for raising three children on her own at the age of 28 (without even knowing how to drive), on a secretary's salary and eventually working her way up to the role of a manager. No matter how her day went, she never seemed to be in a bad mood which she displayed through her immense love for her family. She spoiled her grandchildren whenever possible, surprising them with snacks, candy, books and other gifts. In her free time, she watched John Wayne movies, read Danielle Steele books, and listened to Elvis Presley records; she loved The King nearly as much as she loved her family. Her love of family and friends extended across the ocean to her pen pal, Pat Richardson of 64 years. After a writing assignment in elementary school, they remained friends and visited each other several times. Her family will miss her excessive decorations for any and all holidays, her unique ability to unsuccessfully grow any plants, shopping with her at garage sales every weekend, and her collection of shoes that would rival that of Imelda Marcos.
She was the daughter of Charlotte Taylor who preceded her in death along with her older brother Richard Taylor. She is survived by husband Harry P. Roberts, daughters Lynn Schmidt (Phil), Lori Samazin (Steve), and son Brad Jackson (Susan). She is also survived by her sister Judy Dixon (Phil), brothers Robert Taylor and Ron Taylor (Sarah). She leaves behind spoiled grandchildren Dustin Schmidt (Juliana), Jordan Schmidt (Crystal), Aaron Schmidt (Sarah), Sarah Schmidt, Alexandra Samazin, Adam Samazin, Haley Jackson, and Emily Jackson. Not to be forgotten and just as spoiled are her five great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Cancer Research - KU Endowment, Mailstop: 3012 - 3901 Rainbow Blvd., Kansas City, Kansas 66160.
A celebration of life will take place on Friday, May 29th from 4:00 – 6:00 pm at the Cullen Funeral home located at 612 W. Foxwood Drive in Raymore, Mo.
We love you Mimi. A bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck.
Arrangement: Cullen Funeral Home, Raymore, MO (816)322-5278
