They enjoyed living close to neighbors for 17 years before returning to the farm home. In 1993 Roberta was surprised to receive the Lipscomb County Conservation Homemaker Award. After 12 years back at the farm home, they started a new way of life at the Palo Duro Retirement Village in Canyon, TX, where they were close to family.

They found the village a good place to live after over 60 years in Higgins. Survivors include her husband, one daughter, Mary Fern and husband Jim Slavin of Miami, TX and two sons, Ray and wife Vickie and Joe and wife Jane of Canyon. Six grandchildren, thirteen great-grandchildren, two great-great-grandchildren and a brother, Mahlon Coulson and wife Nell of Lubbock.
