Obituary
Roberta June
Ratcliff
(June 22, 1922 - December 18 2020)
ROBERTA WEBB RATCLIFF, 98, of Ceredo,
entered into life abundant on Dec. 18, 2020 at home. She was born June 22,
1922 to Cullie and Sallie Williamson Webb of Fort Gay, WV. She was
predeceased by James “Jimmy” Ratcliff, Jr., her husband of 59 years, and a
beloved daughter, Julie Burgess. Also predeceasing her were her four
sisters, Christina, Vandetta, Fontella and Teresa. Left to cherish her
memory are her son, C.K. “Connie” Ratcliff of Ceredo, and her daughters Myra
Haught of Huntington, and Becky Moses and husband Bob of Kenova, with whom
she made her home. Grandchildren include Helen Marie (David) May, Joe
(Leigh) Ratcliff, Ramona (Howard) Hensley, Candi (David) Burger, Courtney
Burgess (Tony), Brock Haught, Jason (Tina) Haught, Rusty (Suzanne) Metz and
Amber Conger. She also had twelve Great-grandchildren: Keifer, Joey, Skyler,
Lexie, Ryan, Kaitlyn, Sierra, Kennedy, Bryson, Olivia, Lily and Emily.
Roberta was an LPN, and worked in local hospitals, ending her career as a
private duty nurse. She was a long-time member of First Independent
Missionary Baptist Church in Kenova. She loved God, her family and Elvis
(mostly in that order.) She enjoyed quilting, sewing, embroidery, reading
and canning. She had a sassy wit and kept her family laughing at her
“Roberta-isms”. Roberta was one of a kind, and she will be missed by those
who loved her. But if you cry too much for her, she would tell you, “the
more you cry, the less you pee.” Funeral services will be conducted by
Pastor Zach Johnson, Tuesday, December 22 at 2:00 at the church located at
848 13th St., Kenova. Visitation will be one prior to the service. Please
observe COVID guidelines and mask are required. The family would like to
thanks the staff of St. Mary’s Home Health and Darcy of Hospice of
Huntington and her caregiver and friend, Kayla Dunfee. Reger Funeral Home
has the privilege of serving our family.
