Roberta Teater Stinnett

The Matriarch of the Stinnett family, Roberta Stinnett, 96, joined her beloved husband Bennis Stinnett, who died in 2006, in eternal rest. She was born in Jessamine County, Dec, 28, 1929, to the late Bradie Ford and Elizabeth Brooks Teater.

Roberta was a member of Antioch Christian Church, having played the piano and sung there for many years, and also was a faithful member of the Nicholasville Methodist Church. She loved to crochet hats, afghans and scarves. Planting flowers and working in her yard served as a great pastime for her, since she came from a farming family.
