January 4, 1949 – January 11, 2023
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, sister, aunt, and grandma.
Roberta passed away peacefully at St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg with family by her side.
Left to cherish her memory are husband Walter; daughters, Kelly (Todd), Carolyn (Eric), and her grandchildren, Connor and Maggie. She is also survived by her sister Sandra (Donald); niece Sarah (Rich); aunt Denise (William); cousins and wonderful lifelong friends. She was predeceased by her parents, Robert and Constance Congdon.
Roberta grew up, married and raised her family in the Fort Garry/Fort Richmond areas. She was married to Walter, the love of her life for 52 years. They hosted many family gatherings, holiday parties and visits from special friends over the years. As a couple they loved to travel and visited many countries, enjoying cruises, adventures and unique experiences.
After retirement, Roberta and Walter moved to St. Vital and spent the winters in Palm Springs, California for over 10 years, where they took pleasure in golf, outings, and pool parties with a close group of friends. They recently moved to The Courtyards at Linden Pointe where they also met a community of new friends. Roberta had many creative, artistic, and musical talents and was an avid gardener who delighted in her colourful flowers and plants.
She was a passionate volunteer donating her time and energy to many organizations and causes, including the Winnipeg Art Gallery, Assiniboine Park Conservatory along with St. Timothy’s Catholic Church and St. Theresa Church where she was a dedicated member of the choir. We will dearly miss Roberta’s caring nature, warm smile, vibrant energy, and resilient positivity. The loss of her supportive, generous, and reassuring presence will be felt in the lives of her family and many friends.
Cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life along with interment will happen during the summer.
In lieu of flowers, donations in her name can be made to the CancerCare Manitoba Foundation, the Heart and Stroke Foundation or a charity of your choice.

Pat and I have been table neighbors of Roberta and Walter here at Brightwater. We have enjoyed the company of them both. Roberta was especially helpful in keeping me appraised of events and the names of new residents.
We enjoyed a couple of luncheons outside with them.
Roberta was extremely well liked here at Brightwater and will be sorely missed.

I was very fortunate to be partnered with Roberta as we volunteered at the original conservatory gift shop on Tuesday afternoons for many years. We were both gardeners and travelers. Coincidentally Roberta and Walt and Howard and I were traveling to Istanbul at the same time in May. Also, we were all staying in the old town of Sultanahmet. We met for dinner and our husbands got to know each other. It was the beginning of a friendship where Roberta and I continued to keep in touch. I miss her friendship.
My condolences for the loss of a wonderful mother that has loving daughters. The video was very caring and showed how much Roberta was loved by her family.
