Apparently the first message came out garbage, at least it did to me.
More sad news, my mother Alpha "Happy" Cheyne Roberts, passed away at 90
after a full and active life. See below:
Alpha Happy Cheyne Roberts
was born the fifth child of Lucy Mae Hunter Eaton. Her father was Alpheus
Aaron Eaton a steel worker in Wellsville. Ohio, 12 July 1911. Her siblings
were Maribel Vorrhis, Frieda Morgan, Maurice Wilmer Morgan and Alice Etta O
Grady, all deceased. Her older sisters gave her the nickname, Happy, which
is the name her friends called her until her death, 5 December 2001. She
also outlived her three husbands, Robert Andrew Sutton, Ernest Cheyne and
Garrett William Roberts.
World War II brought her young family to Phoenix in 1943. They lived on the
outskirts of town at Central Avenue and Thomas Road. She joined the Central
Methodist Church and has been a loyal member for 58 years. She was employed
by Albert Mathias and Company, a wholesale furniture distributor for many
years.
Happy had two sons, Robert A. Sutton, a retired Mechanical Engineer, in San
Diego and James W. Cheyne, a lighting control representative, in Phoenix.
They provided her with six grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren.
She was an avid traveler, having visited all 50 states and over 90
countries. She did not allow her age to keep her from her passion of
traveling; she visited her churchs mission in Kenya at 85 and, at 88,
strode the Great Wall of China. Her last trip was a cruise with her niece,
Mary Stouffer of Oregon City, Oregon, just six months ago from Europe to
Greenland, Iceland and Maritime Provinces. The highlight of the trip, for
her, was swimming in the Blue Lagoon.
A memorial service is planned for 2 PM, January 30, 2002, at the Life
Center, Beatitudes Campus of Care, 1668 West Glendale Avenue. Donations to
the Arizona Heart Institute Foundation or the Beatitudes Foundation are
requested in lieu of flowers.
