Elizabeth “Libby” Ann Roberts of Seymour, Indiana passed away on July 01, 2022 at home, surrounded by love, which is where she wanted to be. She tackled a six year battle with AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia) with extreme strength and determination. Libby was born in Connersville, Indiana on March 1, 1946 to the late George and Ruth Kerrigan. On July 6, 1968, she married Dr. Jerry D. Roberts.
Libby loved learning and was a perpetual student, proudly receiving degrees from Indiana University (BS – 1967, MS – 1971 and MS – 1974), and Butler University (Ed.S,.1996). Her retirement in 2005, after 29 years as teacher and guidance counselor, brought enjoyment to grandchildren, traveling and baking her famous cookies! She enjoyed the beauty of living on Roberts Christmas Trees Farm, just north of Cortland. Libby was a member of Whites Creek United Methodist Church, Kiwanis, Tri Kappa Sigma Kappa and The Mental Health Association.
Libby is survived by her husband, Dr. Jerry Roberts, son JD (Stephanee) Roberts, daughters: Nicole (George Harris) Roberts Maroe, and Cecily (Josh) Cornett; eight grandchildren: Jackson Roberts, Jacob Roberts, Joel Roberts, Jude Roberts, Max Maroe, Isabella Cornett, Zoe Cornett, and Lucy Cornett; sister Virginia Gilani, and many loving friends. She was preceded in death by her parents George and Ruth Kerrigan and son Cliff Roberts.
Visitation will be held on Thursday July 7, 2022, at Voss and Sons Funeral Home from 4-8 PM and on Friday from 9:30 AM until the time of service at 10:30 AM at Voss and Sons Funeral Home, pastor Rick Grant officiating. The family would be honored for guests to share one of their favorite memories of Libby. Burial will follow at Whites Chapel Cemetery.
Family request memorials be made to Mental Health of America of Jackson County or the IU Simon Cancer Center.

I would not have made it through a traumatic senior year or gone to college without Mrs. Roberts help and support. She is personally responsible for helping me secure a full scholarship and she stood up for me during an issue with a teacher who had told me I’d never go to college. I remember her marching down the hall after said teacher to confront her. I did go to college and landed a great job. I will never forget everything she did for me and the opportunity I have had in life because of her going above and beyond for me and I’m sure many other students.

Dear Robert's Family,
We have been dear friends with Libbey's daughter Nicole and her family for almost 30 years. We have shared several very intimate moments with Nicole from dating, to marriage to opening a business, to a baby. Every time we met Jerry and Libbey there was an awesome sense of a strong family and an even stronger upbringing. She came from good stock. People who know truth and goodness and raised their children that way.
Nicole had to put away her feelings aside to be there for her Mom during her cancer. Libbey fought hard and Nicole was there for her during the worst of times. All of this strength came from Libbey in showing her what Motherhood is all about.
As a single Mom, Nicole invited my husband Rex and I along with her birth parents Libbey and best friend Sharon to be there on an extremely emotional journey to welcome another grandchild into this world. Libbey was the the source of all strength and couldn't be prouder of Nicole. She stayed with Nicole during every moment and helped her when she returned home and frequently visited all the time. Libbey was ALWAYS exceptionally kind, gracious and strong.
We were ultimately at peace to know she was surrounded with the enduring and beautiful Robert's family tree.
May God Bless Nicole and the Robert's Family
All Our Love.

I have always heard that the true character of a person is reflected in the children they raised. Scott and I will always be grateful for the daughter Libby shared with us. Talking this last week with the granddaughters that we shared she also left them with wonderful memories of cookie baking for the Christmas tree farm and the awesome clothes that she always bought, something they all agree Nana has no talent for. We are so sorry that you lost Libby but God has gained a perfect angel. Thoughts and prays are with all of you.

We shared a wonderful afternoon mixing, baking in three ovens and chuckling as I could not determine which timer was ringing. Quite a delightful afternoon with dear Libby. She will be missed by many.
