Wanda Ruth Andrus Roberts passed away March 31, 2005. She was 90 and a blessing to the end -- and still.
Born Nov. 6, 1914 in Holladay, Utah, to Clarence Loyal Andrus and Ruth Viola Christensen, she was the eldest of nine children.
Wanda attended Irving Grade School, Granite High, (she was the first female "cheerleader," there) and graduated from BYU in 1939.
On June 6, 1940 she married her BYU sweetheart, Charles Henry Roberts. The couple raised 6 children and taught school for 39 years in the Big Horn Basin area of Wyoming, before retiring to Lehi.
Wanda is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and always served faithfully in church organizations and in the community.
These past few years she agonized over her memory loss, but she never forgot her testimony of Jesus Christ. She never forgot to keep His commandments and express gratitude. She never forgot her positive attitude and cheerful disposition.
Proverbs is true. "... for her price is far above rubies . . . Strength and honour are her clothing;"
Survived by children, Duane (Susan) Roberts, Springville; Kurt (Jackie) Roberts, American Fork; Ruth (Jim) Dunn, Orem; Reese (Diane) Roberts, Kaysville; Maralee (Zeke) Francis, Moab; Gerald (Candice) Roberts, Bartlesville, Oklahoma; 32 grandchildren (3 serving LDS missions); and 22 great-grandchildren; brothers, Clarence Andrus, of Draper; Willis Andrus, of Murray; James Andrus, of Glenwood; and Jay Andrus, of Price.
Preceded in death by her dear Charlie, brothers Roger, Doug and Stan, sister, Vaudis Swenson, and a grand-daughter, Danielle Roberts.
Funeral services will be Saturday, April 9, 2005 at 10:30 a.m. in the Lehi 17th Ward Chapel (851 N. 1200 E.) Viewing at Wing Mortuary, (118 E. Main, Lehi), Friday evening from 6-8 p.m. and an hour prior to services on Saturday at the church.
In lieu of flowers, donate to the charity of your choice.
