Becky Roberts

Becky Jo Wright Roberts, 65, of Sherwood passed away Saturday, May 30, 2020. She was born July 6, 1954 in North Little Rock, Arkansas to Joe and Rose Wright. She was preceded in death by both parents.
She grew up at Gardner United Methodist Church and volunteered each week there at the church food pantry. She loved the Razorbacks and especially Tailgating at games, She loved to travel, and plan vacations. She adored her family and friends; but her greatest delight was spending time with her children and grandkids. That made her happiest of all. She loved going to their ballgames.
She had an Infectious Spirit about her, and never met a stranger, if you ever met her, you were Family. Those who knew her saw some of the Power of God’s Grace in a human life.  Becky had strong belief in God and strong family ties that ran deep. She was so in awe of her sister Kim, and everything she does and has accomplished, and of her son Justin, she was especially proud of the man he had become, and the father figure he is to her grandchildren.
Becky loved to read, and was always writing in her day planner (mostly about the kids and grandchildren).
She was a constant source of inspiration, guidance, and voice of reason for her husband. She always had his back, his favorite thing she would say to him is “I GOT THIS.“
Becky is survived by her husband of 18 years, Darius Roberts; children, Justin McCuiston, Kali Roberts, Caleb (Brianna) Roberts, Jeff Campbell, and Cassie Campbell; grandchildren, Ryley and Colin McCuiston, Eva Roberts, Reef Roberts; sister, Kim Stacey (Joe); nephews, Scott (D.J.) Stacey and West (Jenna) Stacey; niece, BeckyJo Stacey; and her two special “Girls’ Groups.”
Becky was working at the Department of Local Services in 1977 when several staff and friends began going out after work to Busters, Fridays or Tracks Inn. The friendships that developed among the eight members of the Glee Club has lasted every day since. For 43 years, this group regularly had gatherings including pool parties, trips to Oaklawn and a special “fastest day” adventure that got funnier every single time it was told. There are so many stories. The laughter was often very loud, and the group trait was that everybody talked at once. Fun was ever present and secrets were shared but never remembered. Becky always had a smile and a story to tell. Her heart was pure and her spirit vivacious. She was the baby of the group and will be missed forever.
She was a strong advocate of Child Adoption, please support.  Donations can be made to Gardener Methodist Church Food Pantry or memorials may be made to Pulaski County Humane Society.
