ROBERTA BERNADETTE DUNLAP
Roberta B. Dunlap, age 58 of Kenna Drive S. Charleston, WV peacefully transitioned from her life on earth to her eternal home with her Lord and Savior at CAMC General Hospital on Wednesday, June 12, 2024, surrounded by those who loved her dearly.
Roberta was born on January 26, 1966 in Reno Nevada to Robert Ervin Martin and Clara Ann (Coleman) Martin. Roberta was the third child of three girls. Roberta grew up in Lincoln County, WV graduating from Duval High School then on to the University of Charleston where she graduated with her bachelors in Business Management and Administration.
Roberta used her degree to become the business owner of Exxon Tiger Marts on Jefferson Road and Sand Plant Road for fifteen years. In her working years, Roberta was hard-working and determined to get the job done. Later on, Roberta had to step away from her career due to ongoing health issues.
Roberta enjoyed reading, but her all time happy place was the sun, sand and the sea of any beautiful beach. Roberta was kind-hearted and loved to bless others, especially those who needed a little extra.
Roberta is survived by her two sisters, Jane Jackson-Fowler (Todd) of S. Charleston, WV and Melissa Kessel (Worthington, KY) and several nieces and nephews: Jordan Paul Spurlock, Robert Lundy Lilly, Clarissa Nicole Rouss, April Lynette Lilly and Bradley Martin Lilly.
Many thanks to Jay Underwood for the beautiful relationship he and Roberta shared together these past several years. The love, encouragement and kindness you both gave, created a very special bond between you both. You were exactly what Roberta needed. God bless you.
A graveside service will be held on Tuesday, June 18th at 11am at Orchard Hills Memorial Garden Yawkey, WV. Pastor Richard Thompson, Bible Center Church will be officiating the service. Friends and family are welcome to attend.
I will miss Roberta, my downstairs neighbor, and the telephone conversations we had over the years. Rest in peace, Roberta, rest in peace.
My deepest sympathy to Bert’s family. She was such a sweet soul. I will miss our chats.
I will miss you my beautiful friend. Heaven gained an angel but the world is one less kind, loving soul! Rest in peace Bert
