Betty Ruth Roberts, age 89, passed away on Thursday, June 4, 2026, at Centerpoint Health in Winchester, Kentucky. She was born on Monday, August 3, 1936, in Lee County, Kentucky, to the late Lennox Brewer and the late Sadie Centers Brewer. Betty was a wonderful mother and homemaker who created a loving home for her family. She would pick beans from the garden that her husband tended and took great pleasure in canning the produce. Betty loved preparing special meals, often making some of her family’s favorites, such as poke stalks, mashed potatoes, pickled corn, chocolate pie, and every Wednesday, a batch of her famous soup beans. She enjoyed watching hummingbirds and had a fondness for collecting duck figurines. With her delightful and contagious laugh, Betty radiated joy to those around her. She was dedicated to her Christian faith and faithfully attended Morris Creek Missionary Baptist Church. In addition to her parents, Betty is preceded in death by five brothers: Woodrow Brewer, Edward Brewer, Ola Brewer, William Denvil Brewer, and Orbie Brewer; and four sisters: Lorena Byrd, Gaythel Lowe, Opal Compton, and Viola Treadway. She is survived by her husband of 70 years, Sherman Roberts of Stanton; three sons: Glendale Ray (Pam) Roberts of Florence, Bobby Lee (Vickie) Roberts of Veronia, and Tony Sherman Roberts of Boston, Massachusetts; two daughters: Pamela (David) Jones and Sherry (David) Traugott, both of Stanton; one brother: Paul Winfred Brewer; one sister: Christina Derickson; fourteen grandchildren; and fourteen great-grandchildren.
