Devona Harward Roberts

The pretty dark haired DeVona stepped into eternity Sunday, September 4th, 2005, due to a loving heart that had worn-out despite open heart surgery in 2000 and a pace maker to assist in 2003.

DeVona was born 14 March 1927 in Provo, UT. The first daughter, to Sharlend Harward and Theo Matilda Harding Harward. She had three older brothers, a sister and two more brothers to follow.

One of those brothers, VerDon, introduced her to the handsome Merrill J. Roberts, and 60 years ago, on Aug 29,1945, they were married in the Salt Lake Temple. They became the parents of seven lucky children: Trist Roberts, Debra (Dan) Ascuena, Dana (Janet) Roberts, Pamela (Duane) Dutson, Marcia (Wade) Millett, Earl Roberts, and Harvey Roberts.

Our little Mom put her whole-soul into the career of motherhood, although she worked many years in the school lunch program.
De V ona loved serving in the church and held various callings in Primary, Relief Society, and at the age of 70 team taught the 16 year olds in Sunday School.

She left her children a legacy of faithfulness.
Loved ones who proceeded her in death include her dear dad and mom, a baby grandson Clay
Dana Roberts, two brothers, Erwin Harward, VerDon Harward, and her sister Maxine Miner as well as sister-in-Iaws, Lois Harward and Mary Ellen Harward,. She leaves behind brothers Marvel Harward, Gary (Margie) Harward, Ted (Nondie) Harward and brother-in-law Boyd Miner (Alice).

How we love our dear Wife, Mother, and Grandma DeVona and how she loved us!
