Roberta Mecomber
February 26, 1940 — December 26, 2017
Roberta J. Mecomber, 77 of Cheyenne passed away December 26, 2017 at home with her daughters by her side.
She was born February 26, 1940 in Pine Bluffs, Wyoming to Gene & Mildred Kieler Land. Her family on both sides homesteaded the Wyoming/Nebraska and Wyoming/Colorado/Nebraska lines and are long time farmers of the area. She lived in Kimball, NE until the age of 15.

Bobbi married Walt Mecomber in 1957 and they had three children, T.J., Chele and Brad.
Bobbi had a huge heart and took in any kid in need, the family lost count of how many mouths were fed at her table. When asked what she most wanted to be remembered for her reply was, “a good mother.” Mission accomplished.
Bobbi was an accomplished artist in pastels and oils, was able to sew anything needed and loved to crochet.
Bobbi is survived by daughters, TJ (Norm) Russi and Chele (Doug) Porter of Burns, WY; granddaughters, Robbi (Larry Jares) Russi of Cheyenne, Kylie Porter of Burns and Eylisch Porter of Laramie; grandson, Brandon Russi of Burns and great-grandson, Braden Jares.
