Obituary of Jean D. Roberts

Jean D. Roberts passed away, peacefully, on Friday January 17th, 2020. Jean was born in Lockport NY on August 7th, 1929; the daughter of the late William and Hazel Barrett. She was a lifelong resident of Lockport. Jean worked many years at the local women’s department store L.L. Berger and anyone that knew her recognized her effortless flare for fashion. She dedicated her life to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren whom she loved dearly. The “neighborhood mom” always welcomed everyone with open arms. She spent much time perfecting her beautiful flower gardens, bird watching on her back patio, reading, caring for her animals and always cheering on the Buffalo Bills. Jean is the mother of Jerry D. Roberts, Jeffery D. Roberts, Jill D. Roberts, Jamey D. (Teri) Roberts, Jason D. (Cheryl DiMatteo) Roberts; grandmother of Jenny R. Powers, Jeffery D. Roberts, Jamey D. Roberts, Jerrod (Catherine) Roberts, Janelle D. (Kevin ) Achtyl, Jace D. Roberts, Livia D. Roberts and Barrett D. Roberts; and 12 great grandchildren. Jean is the sister of Hugh (Shelby) Barrett, the late Sharon (Bill) Glenn and the late Jimmy Barrett. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews. She will be sorely missed by her family and all who had the pleasure of knowing her. A celebration of life will be held at the convenience of the family. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Niagara County Historical Society or Niagara SPCA.
