Mrs. Bennie Roberts

Bennie Marie Roberts was born to the late Benjamin and Lillian Roberson, January 23, 1939 in Adel, GA.

Bennie Roberts, affectionately called “Aunt Bennie” by all who knew her was quite a lady. She was caring and had such a sense of humor. Her motto: “No Nonsense”. She did not mind voicing her opinion and sharing her thoughts. She was strong and very independent. “Aunt Bennie” knew a lot of pleasure and at times endured pain; she lived in the sunshine and at times walked in the rain. Whatever her lot, we can truly say, “Aunt Bennie, always did things her way.

On Wednesday, October 29, 2014, God looked around His garden and He found a empty place, he then looked down upon the earth and saw her precious face. He gently closed her eyelids with hands so gentle and kind, then He softly whispered, ‘Peace be thine”.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband: James Roberts; one son: Pastor Marcus Roberson; one sister: Rossie Kelly; and two brothers: Ralph Roberson and L C Roberson; two brothers in-law: Pastor Albert Bussey, Sr. and Tony Lawhorn.

She leaves to cherish her memories: one son: Theodore Roberson of Bushnell, Florida; three sisters: Pastor Wilma Bussey of Lake Park, Georgia, Bobbie Lawhorn of Miami, Florida, Shula Roberson of Tampa, Florida; two brothers: Simon Roberson of Ocala, Florida, and Jimmy Roberson (Maggie) of Valdosta, Georgia; one aunt: Susie Simmons of Miami, Florida; six grandchildren; nineteen great-grand children; and a host of six grandchildren; and a host of nieces and nephews.

The celebration of life for the late Mrs. Bennie Roberts will be held Sunday at 3pm from the sanctuary of Kingdom Builders Church.
