Roberta A. Wilson 76, passed away Sunday, November 10, 2019 in her home surrounded by loved ones. She was born on February 23, 1943 in St. Johns, Arizona to Ernesto Sanchez and Leonsa Chavez. She was a very loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandma, great and great-great-grandma.

To most everyone she was known as or called "Bobbi". She had four children, Deborah Moreno (Francisco) of St.Johns, Hope Villar (Hank) (dec.) of Page, Arizona, Michael Rubi (Arlene) of Winslow, Arizona and Karen Todaro (Shay) of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

She lived the majority of her life in St. Johns. In 1983 she finally married the love of her life Bobby J. Wilson and together they made the best of their lives. She had an infectious laugh and smile with beautiful green eyes that always lit up a room. She always looked forward to the holidays and of course to our huge yearly family reunions.

She was an Administrative assistant for the Apache County Health Department for eighteen years, before becoming great stay at home wife. She loved her entire family very much and her memories will live on forever especially through the love she had for dancing and mariachi music.
