The beloved Roberts family matriarch, Patricia Lee Webb Roberts, died Wednesday, January 20, 2021 at her home surrounded by family at the age of 83. She was a Tupelo native, born on April 30, 1937 to William “Bill” Webb and Eva Williams Webb. In 1955, she graduated from Tupelo High School and in 1957 she married Gene Roberts, together they have five children. Pats was a dedicated mother who enjoyed spending time with her family.
Pats was an avid sports fan; her favorite teams included the Mississippi State Bulldogs, Dallas Cowboys even long before Dak and it was an exciting day when he was drafted on her birthday!
Longtime, faithful member of Orchard Church, Pats loved the Lord and demonstrated His love in everything she did. Her devotion to her church and the Lord was evident as all her children now love the Orchard as much as she did due to her persuasion. Even when in 2009 to be closer to her family she moved to Baldwyn she remained faithful to her church. She was an active member of multiple small groups over the years.
Pats was a great judge of character, non judgmental and always found the bright side. Even while her health declined she continued to be optimistic and energetic.
