As a 1978 graduate of Palo Verde and student body president Roberta will be missed by family and friends. In the interest of honoring Roberta I would like to start this thread. It is our sincere wish that those loving messages will fill the minds and hearts of family and friends. Should you like to share your wishes of sympathy and your memories of Roberta with family and friends please leave your comments and wishes below. If you have photos of Roberta that you would like to share please send photos to, Email: kt1957@cox.net Roberta Hanley 48, born April 22, 1960 in Lowell, MA, passed away on May 9, 2008 at home with her family at her bedside. Bobbie moved to Tucson in 1968, attended Palo Verde High School and graduated from the University of Arizona in 1983. Bobbie was an elementary school teacher, first at AJ Mitchell in Nogales, then at Smith Elementary at DMAFB. Her longest tenure as a teacher was at Bloom Elementary, where she considered the staff a wonderful group of close friends. Diagnosed with breast cancer in 1993, she survived 15 years in the face of insurmountable odds, countless surgeries, and the tragic heartbreaking news of reoccurrence. It was the absolute love of her two boys, Billy and Sean, that she survived 15 years. She strongly braved the constant storm of pain in an effort to teach us all how to be strong. She is an inspiration to us all. Bobbie, of Vail, AZ, mother, wife, daughter, sister and aunt, is survived by her loving husband William, two sons Billy (17) and Sean (14); mother Pauline Britton, father John Britton (deceased), sister Paula Cannan (Jim), nieces Kelly, Kristen, nephew Kyle of San Diego; sister Donna Britton of Salisbury, MA; brother John Britton (Rosemarie) of Apache Junction; Everett Britton, niece Brooke, nephew Jake of Tucson. Bobbie thanks UMC Cancer Center staff for their wonderful support. She was blessed with a large family and many close friends who she would like to thank. She loves you all! A celebration of Bobbie's life to be held at St. Francis de Sales Church, 1375 S. Camino Seco on Tuesday, May 13, at 3:00 p.m. Donations to be sent to the Tucson Federal Credit Union in the name of Billy and Sean Hanley college fund.

My children, Brooke, Jake and Ashley, will forever remember their Aunt Roberta for all the years of warmth, love and laughter they shared with her. She taught all of us many things throughout her life, but over the last 14 years, she selflessly taught us about strength, dignity, and passion for life. We will forever miss you Roberta. To Bill, Billy and Sean, and the rest of the Britton/Hanley family, we are so sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

My wife Susan graduated with Roberta and knew Roberta on a personal level through high school and beyond. Learning of her passing has touched us both very deeply. I will not forget the wonderful memories of working with Roberta and presenting a video presentation during the reunion. I did not know that Roberta was such a huge Arizona Wildcat fan. When she arrived with her husband Bill at a surprise birthday party for my wife last September Roberta was all decked out in red as she and Bill were headed for the Arizona football game. Arizona has now got two additional players on their team from high above, my father-in-law Steve Ivan and Roberta. Those lucky enough to have met Roberta were treated to a very special lady. Our hearts and prayers go out to Bill, Sean, Billy, and the entire Britton and Hanley families, Roberta will be missed by all. « Last Edit: May 18, 2008, 5:32pm by Administrator » Link to Post - Back to Top   Logged Class Of 75 Lisa Butler Greenhalgh Guest Re: Roberta “Britton” Hanley « Reply #4 on May 20, 2008, 9:47am » I'm so glad that the 25th year reunion was held. I remember that was a wish of Roberta's because of her illness. I am just sorry that I missed it and didn't get to see Roberta again. Roberta was always accepting of all in High School. She was a good friend and kind. My prayers are with her family at this hard time. May the Lord spirit bless you with the comfort you all need.

I had a sister! Roberta, through the years, our ups and our downs, I loved u, admired you and thanked God you married my brother. I remember laughing at the both of you, with the both of you especially at the games. Helga hats at the Vikings games in Phoenix, arguing with the Sun Devil fans during Wild Cat games. You two were meant for each other. Your gone...my brother is lost, waiting for you to come home. But he'll be alright, for time is the healer of all things. You never had a chance to finish planing his trip to Minnesota for his 50th, so cuz Chris and I have made it so. The journals your wrote for the boys over all these years have been a comfort for both Billy and Sean. We feel your presence in the beautiful home you made for your family. Until we meet again, say Hi to your dad.....
