Roberta Marie Evans

Roberta (Bobbie) Marie Evans, born on April 2, 1937, in Denver, Colorado, passed away peacefully from natural causes, on May 22, 2026, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A devoted mother and grandmother, Bobbie found her true calling in nurturing and supporting her family. She dedicated her life to her loved ones, particularly her sons Chuck Evans, Ronnie Evans (deceased), and daughter Linda Murphy, daughter-in-law Kelly Evans, and son-in-law Rick Murphy. Bobbie was blessed with four grandchildren: Amanda Moore, Andrew Murphy, Derek Ortiz, Ashelyn Turrietta, as well as five great grandchildren Anthony, Alexia, Amabella, Anieya and Waylon, all of whom were the center of her world, and Jackson who is due any day.

Bobbie was always passionate about family, celebrating birthdays with joy, and making each gathering special. Her love for her family was matched only by her dedication to her work as a teacher's aide in the Albuquerque Public Schools at Eubank Elementary, where she taught special needs children, a testament to her unwavering love for family, faith, and service. Her compassion and commitment made a significant impact on the lives of her students and their families.

In the family, Bobbie was known as a prayer warrior, lifting others up in faith and devotion. She cherished her faith, placing God first in her life, and her spirituality guided her actions and interactions with those around her.

Bobbie actively participated in her neighborhood, being a 2nd Mom to many kids on the block, and engaging in community events such as the June St. block parties, where she created lasting memories with friends and family. Her warm spirit and joyful presence will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

Roberta was preceded in death by: Robert Collins-Father, Teola Arends-Mother, and Ronnie Evans-son.

A Family Viewing will be held at St. Paul's United Methodist Church on June 2, 2026, at 11:30 AM, followed by a Funeral Service at 12:30 PM. A Graveside Service will take place at Sunset Memorial Park Cemetery at 2:00 PM on the same day. Roberta will be laid to rest with love and honor.
