Roberta Lynn Wilson-Jolley

Roberta Lynn Wilson-Jolley, born Sept. 19, 1954, passed away on Dec. 25th at her home in Paradise, concluding a long struggle with ovarian cancer.

Born in San Francisco, Roberta attended public schools in Richmond, Calif., and Sandy Springs Friends School in Sandy Springs, Maryland. Roberta dedicated her adult professional life to children and social work, receiving a Masters degree from Sacramento State University in 1985. For 17 years she was employed by the California Department of Social Services in the Chico Adoption Services unit, retiring in 2005 as a supervisor.

Her attitude toward her profession mirrored her attitude toward life - thoroughness, integrity and precision, with a dash of humor. In 2003, she embarked on a second professional path as founder of Two Sisters Apparel in Paradise, where her personal sense of style was on display for all to see.
 
Roberta was predeceased by her father, Tom, in 2002. She is survived by her mother, Victoria, of Sacramento; husband Jim of Paradise; daughters Rachel and Sasha of Chico; sisters Vicky of Columbia, Md., Cathy of Sacramento, and Regina of Penngrove.

A memorial potluck will be held at the Chico Women's Club, 3rd and Pine streets in Chico, on Friday, Jan. 6 at 3 pm. Call 895-6143 for more details. Memorial donations can be made to Enloe Hospice in care of Affordable Mortuary.
