Bobby grew up in the North End of Winnipeg on Bannerman Avenue. She had various jobs over the years most notably at Westinghouse, The Bay and Safeway where she made many wonderful lifelong friends. She also made numerous friends through her participation in aquasize groups, as well as through her involvement with Good Neighbours.
Mom especially cherished her neighbours on Claudia Place. And the family would like to thank them all for watching over her since Neale's passing.
She loved travelling with Neale as well as on her own. Some highlights of this include her trips to the British Isles, Nova Scotia and Costa Rica. She enjoyed walking in nature on the trails at Bird's Hill Park and Kildonan Park, as well as gardening in her backyard.
Nana enjoyed being part of her loved ones lives. For example she supported her grandchildren by attending many of their activities, such as hockey, baseball, soccer, swimming, music recitals, etc.
The family would like to give a special thank you to Maryann Driver for all her support, help and friendship through the years. They would also like to thank Dr. Lage and the staff at Concordia Hospital for everything.
In lieu of card and flowers, Roberta's wish is that memorial donations be made to a charity of your choice.

It’s with great sadness that I come upon the news of Bobby’s passing. She was a lovely, positive coworker, many years ago at Canada Safeway. She was always very positive and had a deep loyalty to her family. All my best to you all. - Posted by: Roma Pinnell (Former Colleagues @ Canada Safeway) on: Dec 14, 2022

Condolences to the Driver family on Bobby's passing...Growing up on Claudia was my best memories with the Drivers, Bertouilles, and the rest of the gang. Living on Vancouver Island for 40 years and my memory never fads with knocking on the Drivers door and feeling right at home. RIP Roberta..

Extending my deepest sympathy to the Driver family on Roberta's passing. Roberta was a long time volunteer for the Canadian Cancer Society's annual April community canvass. It was a pleasure to meet her & thank her for her volunteer service! Sorry for your loss.

Sending our condolences to the Driver family. Bobby will be truly missed on Claudia Bay. We enjoyed her bright smile and great conversations. She took a great interest in our family and our family benefited from many of her baked treats over the years. Even our cat Tigger loved to visit with her. May you Rest In Peace Bobby❤️❤️ - Posted by: Veronica VanLeeuwen (Neighbor ) on: Feb 08, 2021

Sending love and condolences to my cousins Angie, Paul and Mitch at this difficult time. What I remember most about Auntie Bobby is her bubbly personality and her kind heart. Since our families are geographically distant, we didn't get to see our Winnipeg relatives very often, but whenever I think of Auntie Bobby, I think of her warmth and energy at family gatherings, her bright conversation and her laughter. - Posted by: Katy McDevitt (Niece) on: Feb 07, 2021
