Mary Jean Collins Roberson was born on mid morning March 11, 1953 at the newly opened Warrensburg Medical Center. She was affectionately given the nickname "Piggy" by her beloved Aunt Laverne Collins.

She was raised north of Warrensburg on a small farm.  She attended the Warrensburg School District for 12 years. She then attended Central Missouri State University, graduating in 1997 with a Bachelor's degree in Geography and Psychology.

She was employed at CMSU (now UCM) for 21 years, working in the dormitory system.  She retired from there and worked for the Warrensburg School District until 2013 as a substitute teacher, bus aide, and lunch aide.

She loved travelling, reading, working crossword puzzles, gardening (her flowers were BEAUTIFUL), sewing and crocheting, and of course her dogs she had through the years.

She married Willie H. Roberson on December 29, 1979 and they were the parents of Seneca Scott and Sky Donavan.  Aunt Mary was truly loved by her nieces and nephews.  She was always there for them.

Sister Mary loved the Lord Jesus with all her heart and loved fellowshipping with all the saints of the Heart of America Council of Churches.  She also loved attending the National Conventions of the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, Inc.
