Rosalie Gloria Roberts
February 27, 1921 - December 1, 2016
Rosalie Gloria Roberts, age
95, died on December 1,
2016.
Born February 27, 1921, in
Grand Junction, Colorado, she
was the daughter of the late
Gilbert and Vicenza Roberts.
Rosalie started working at
Liff’s, a ready-to-wear fashion
store, when she was 17 and
spent the next 60 years
dressing the women of the Grand Valley with passion and joy.
She retired in 1996 as the store’s owner.
Always proud of her Italian heritage, Rosalie loved nothing
more than spending time in her sunny kitchen baking, cooking,
and canning for her loved ones. For all who received
nourishment from her generously shared meals, it was clear that
the secret ingredient was love. A ripe, red tomato always
brought a smile to her face.
Along with fashion and food, Rosalie’s greatest devotion was
to her family.
She was preceded in death by husband, Ed Roberts; son, Gary
Roberts; siblings, Bud Roberts and Eleanor Nourse. She is
survived by sister, Lorraine Bagghott; daughter-in-law, Barbara
(Dick) Fulton; granddaughters, Andrea Turner and Jill Roberts,
and two great-granddaughters.
Memorial services were previously held.

Hospice, 3090B North 12th Street, Grand Junction, CO 81506.
