Roberta Ann Outhier Lowrance, 80, passed away Jan. 31, 2023, at her home in Cedaredge, Colorado.
Roberta was born March 12, 1942, in Bedford, to Albert and Rowena Biley. She grew up in Prescott and graduated in 1959 from Prescott High School. Roberta married her high school sweetheart John Outhier in 1960. John and Roberta had three children: Phlip, Janell and Paul. Roberta worked for many years as the Prescott School secretary and also helped John with his gunsmith business. They were married for 42 years until he passed in 2002.
Roberta relocated to Cedaredge, Colorado, in 2015 where she met and married Elmer Lowrance in 2017. The couple enjoyed traveling in their RV throughout Colorado and Utah and riding their 4-wheeeler on the Grand Mesa near their home. When not seeing the sights, she enjoyed gardening and her flowers. She loved playing games and especially the card game of “Hand and Foot.” Those close to her say she was suspiciously too good. But to that she would probably just say, “well shoot, another game?”
Roberta is survived by her two sons, Philip Outhier and Paul (Sarah) Outhier; daughter Janell (Joe) McMullen; six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents, husband John Outhier and a brother Gene Biley.
Roberta’s family will be hosting a celebration of life ceremony this spring in Prescott.
