JEANNE KAY VOSHEL ROBERTS
Warner Robins - Jeanne Kay Voshel Roberts passed away
Monday afternoon, March 20, 2006. Services will be held
at 12 noon on Saturday, March 25, 2006 in the chapel of
McCullough Funeral Home. Internment will be Monday,
March 27, 2006 in Pulaski, Virginia. Visitation will be Friday
evening, March 24, 2006 from 6-8 p.m. at McCullough
Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations
be made to the Jeanne Kay Voshel Roberts Scholarship Fund.
Jeanne, or Jeanne Kay, as she was known by her parents
and their family, was bom in Muskegon, Michigan. Her very
early years were spent in Muskegon and in Grand Haven,
Michigan, where, together with her parents, she was a mem
ber of the Second Reformed Church of Grand Haven. At the
start of WW 11, Jeanne’s father was called to active duty with
assignments beginning at Wichita Falls, TX. During the war
years, Jeanne moved with her parents to Amarillo, TX, to
Denver, CO and St. Louis, MO. After WWII, Jeanne’s father
was recalled to the Pentagon, where she lived in Fairfax, VA
Jeanne’s high school years began in Paris, France, her father’s
assignment to SHAPE Headquarters at Fontainebleau. Jeanne
then moved to Langley AFB, VA with her family, where she
was graduated from Hampton High School, Hampton, VA
Jeanne began her college studies at Hope College, Holland,
MI, but then transferred to Michigan State University,
East Lansing, MI where she was graduated in 1959 with
a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education. At MSU, Jeanne
became a member of the Zeta Tau Alpha Sorority.
Jeanne married Roscoe R. “Sonny” Roberts, 111 earlier of
Pulaski, Virginia, and later of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, in June
1959 in a formal military wedding ceremony at Langley
AFB, from whence, as Sonny’s wife, she became an “official
USAF camp follower.” Her subsequent ‘assignments’ began
with Sonny’s pilot training assignments, to his initial “per
manent assignment” at Pease AFB, NH, where, with her
husband, she joined the Episcopal Church in Dover, New
Hampshire. Sonny’s later assignments took her to Dover
AFB, Dover, Delaware; Eielson AFB, near Fairbanks, Alaska;
England AFB, Alexander, Louisiana; a year in Winter Park,
Florida, while Sonny went to Southeast Asia for his first
combat tour of duty; then to Castle AFB, Merced, California.
Next, Jeanne came to Robins AFB, Warner Robins, GA where
she lived during Sonny’s assignment as a B-52 aircrew com
mander with the 19th Bomb Wing, and, lastly, his “close-out”
assignment at the Headquarters, USAF Reserves, Robins AFB.
During one of Sonny’s B-52 assignments to Southeast Asia
with the 19th Bomb Wing, Jeanne brought their children to
join him in Thailand, where she, with their children, spent the
summer immersed in and learning a dramatically different
culture. Sonny retired in 1978, and with him, Jeanne built
a house in Warner Robins where she lived until her death.
Although Jeanne worked as a temporary/substitute teacher
throughout her “camp-following” years, she did not begin
her full-time teaching until after her arrival at Robins
AFB. She began her teaching at the Robins Elementary
School, where she was its Principal for the past ten years.
While at Robins Elementary School, Jeanne obtained her
Masters in Education degree, Cum Laude at Georgia College,
Milledgeville, Georgia, and her Specialist in Education degree,
Magna Cum Laude from the University of Georgia, Athens,
Georgia. In 1983 at the University of Georgia, Jeanne was
inducted into the Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Society.
Jeanne’s interests included the history of the American
Founding and the American Civil War, gardening, plus her
“backyard wildlife refuge” for ‘neighborhood’ raccoons, pos
sums, and wild birds. Her favorite hobby was light house
history and their exploration, and collecting miniature models
of lighthouses, especially those of the Great Lakes and of the
southeastern seaboard of the United States. Jeanne’s special
interest in lighthouses gave rise to her use of them as a symbol
for her students “to light the way.”
Jeanne was preceded in death by her parents Nelson C. Voshel
and Dorothy H. Bolt Voshel, both of Grand Haven, Michigan.
Jeanne’s survivors include her husband, Roscoe Russell
“Sonny” Roberts 111, Warner Robins; daughter Chandelle
Marie Roberts, Grand Haven, Michigan and Warner
Robins, Georgia; sons, Kevin Mark Roberts (Donna Veader),
Birmingham, Alabama; Brett Kenton Roberts, Georgia and
Michigan; granddaughters, Amanda Claire Roberts, Rachel
Brittney Klein-Roberts, Carolyn Jeanne Roberts, and Natalie
Voshel Roberts; great-granddaughter, Madison Claire Roberts.
