Dorothy was born to Oda Lee and Tressie Hobbs Roberts on April 17, 1936, in the Okaloosa Community. She graduated from West Monroe High School in 1954 and from Northeast Louisiana University with degrees in Elementary Education.

After retiring from teaching for 26 years, she spent her time with her family and volunteering in all areas at First Baptist Church, West Monroe. One grandson thought that “Meemaw’s job” was at the church since she spent so much time there.

She is preceded in death by her parents; two sisters, Ruby McCall and Joyce Curry; and four brothers, Bob Roberts, Rev. Don Roberts, Oda Wayne Roberts and Marshall Lee Roberts.

Survivors include her husband of 65 years, Oscar Head; “Mama” to her daughters and their spouses, Annette Epps (Mike), Vickie Bumgardner (Thomas); and son, Mickey Oscar Head (Becky); “MeeMaw” to six special grandchildren, Mindy Epps Jones (Chris), Ryan Epps (Paige), Laura and Emma Bumgardner, Sarah and William Head and two great-grandchildren, Michael and Sadie Jones; sisters, Betty Jeffress and Sandra Williams( Jerry); sisters-in-law, Ann Roberts, Cascille Roberts and LuWana Roberts; and several nieces and nephews.

Pallbearers will be Ryan Epps (grandson), William Head (grandson), Chris Jones, Michael Jones (great-grandson), Donald Nolan and Fred Frantom. Honorary Pallbearers are Roy Lee Simms, Charlie Bedgood, Bill Davis, Johnny Wilbanks, Art Knop and Lonnie Stewart.

Visitation will be held from 9:00AM until service time on Wednesday at Feazel Chapel of First Baptist Church of West Monroe.
