Elizabeth "Liza" Goold Roberts Obituary (1932

Elizabeth Goold Roberts, born of goodly parents Frank and Anna Groneman Goold, was born on Jan. 27, 1932, in the harsh cold of winter. She weighed only a pound-and-a-half and survived by sheer will and determination. Liza passed away on Oct. 2, 2015, at her home with her family beside her. Liza, the name given to her by her sweetheart and how she has been affectionately known, married Jack Roberts on November 14, 1950, in the Salt Lake LDS Temple; and they lived a full and adventurous life together. They served side-by-side in dad’s calling as Bishop, in building their construction business and in the Jaycee’s. Their family garden, orchard and yards gave the family opportunities for unique experiences, as did other adventures, such as the wagon train treks and Antique Car Club. Liza has faithfully served others in many different ways. Through her church service and civic duties, she and Jack have had long-term and dear friendships. Liza was a loyal BYU Cougar fan and her enthusiasm has been passed down to her family. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Jack; brothers, Robert (Marion), Mark (Helen) and Jay (Carol) Goold; and her great-grandson, Henrik Roberts. She is survived by her children, Greg (JoAnne), Rose, Carrie (Tiffany) Roberts, and Lesa (Mark) Carter as well as 14 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren. Three of her grandchildren are currently serving LDS missions in Ohio, Italy and Russia.
