| Published by Today's News Herald on September 13, 2025 - Lake Havasu City, Arizona - Roberta Lahey was born on July 30, 1930 in New Westminster, BC, Canada. She passed away in Lake Havasu City on Aug. 31, 2025. Roberta was described as being smart, elegant, classy, the nicest lady ever, and as someone who knew what she wanted. She was all those things, and more, but her most remarkable traits were her resilience and optimism. She married a US Navy serviceman and often said that she spent most of her time packing and moving. Each move brought its own challenges: leaving her home country, crisscrossing the US to 16 different duty stations, including Malta and The Philippines, reentering the workforce aa a widow, moving to Lake Havasu City in 1992. She approached each move with the belief that there was something good about every place. Roberta was active in the LHC Lioness service organization. She volunteered at the local hospital and the Lake Havasu Museum of History; continuing a tradition started during the couple's Navy travels. She enjoyed spending time with family, traveling with tour groups and taking cruises with friends. Roberta is preceded in death by her husband, John, and all her siblings. She is survived by her daughter, Terry Lahey (Dick Elewaut) of Lake Havasu City; her grandson, Kellen Hade (Nic Doherty) of Seattle, WA.
