Eunice May Roberts
PORTLAND – Eunice May Roberts, born June 3, 1938 in Portland to Florence (Burton) and Francis Roberts, died peacefully of natural causes on Jan. 17, 2022.
Eunice, known to her family as “Noone”, was the fourth of seven children growing up in greater Portland.
She entered the convent directly after high school, became a Sister of Mercy and completed her degree in early childhood education. She loved little children and worked as a 1st grade teacher most of her career.
She left the convent when she was in her 50s and worked as a receptionist until her arthritis became debilitating. She was an active member of the 75 State Street community where she lived the last six years with her dear kitty, Mandy.
Eunice is predeceased by her parents; her brother, Charles Roberts, her sisters Teresa Roberts and Mary Libby Rogers.
She is survived by her brother, Edward Roberts in Alaska and sisters Veronica Eaton in Maine and Bea Mazzrillo in Florida; as well as numerous nieces/nephews; great-nieces/nephews; and a few great-greats.
Services with Jones, Rich and Barnes will be held in the spring. The family wishes to thank the caring staff at 75 State Street, Rheumatology Associates and Beacon Hospice for their kindness and support.
