Roberta Jean Springston, age 90, of Weston, WV was called home on Thursday, March 19, 2020, while under the compassionate care of Crestview Manor in Jane Lew. She was born in Weston, WV on June 18, 1929, a daughter of the late William Thomas Burkhammer and Dona Opal Cutright Burkhammer. In addition to her parents, five siblings: Zona Timms, Elsie Queen, Verda Beachler, Helen Zemple, and Arnett Burkhammer, preceded Roberta in death. Roberta has been reunited with her husband, Joseph Allen Springston, to share eternity. Cherishing their memories of Roberta are one daughter, Ann Lynn Shires; two grandchildren: Clark Shires and Elyse Shires; four siblings: Jo Ann Burkhammer and Betty Dean both of Weston, Wilma Springston of Vienna, and Carl Burkhammer and wife, Martha, of Weston; one sister-in-law, Carol Lang of South Carolina; and several nieces and nephews. Roberta retired from the Weston Sanitary Board after spending many years as an Administrative Assistant. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Weston and a member of the Ladies Auxiliary. Roberta treasured her church family and enjoyed helping with events especially their yard sales. If you had ever had her cookies, you know Roberta was an amazing baker. Some of her famous recipes included ginger snap, zucchini cookies, and chocolate Bavarian dessert. Roberta also enjoyed keeping her flower garden. While Roberta deserves a beautiful tribute, this is an unknown time with the COVID-19 pandemic. We understand that attending a visitation or funeral may not be in your best health interest. Please be with us in spirit if you are unable to attend. Should you be able to celebrate her life with us, family and friends will gather for a Graveside Service at Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens located at 2397 US Hwy 19 N in Jane Lew at 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 21, 2020 with Reverend Bruce Macbeth officiating. Interment will follow the Graveside Services. A Celebration of Life Service will be held at a later date for those currently unable to travel.
