Roberta was a native Delawarean, born in Wilmington on August 4, 1952, daughter of the late Robert Armstrong and May Springer Armstrong Nelson. A registered nurse by profession, she dedicated her life to the uncompromising care of her patients.
Roberta will be long remembered as a compassionate, kind, and family-oriented person, who never met a baby she didn’t like!

Harrington and Dawn M. Brehm (Steven); sisters, Sandra Skelley, Winnie Sammons, and Leora Welsh; brothers, Boyd Armstrong, Robert Armstrong, and Jay Faulkner; grandsons, Tyler Kackley and Harrison Brehm; nieces and nephews; and her pet dog, Oreo.
