Roberta Mae Martin. 1942-2024

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved Mom, Roberta Mae (Mosier) Martin, 82 years young, of Enosburg, who was taken from us too soon in July of 2024.

She was born on February 27, 1942, to the late Glen Mosier, Sr and Pearl (Elliott) Mosier in Catskill, New York, and grew up in Jeffersonville, Vermont, on their family farm. 

She was predeceased by her husband Allen Clifton Martin (Bud Corse) “the love of her life” for 60 years.

Roberta and Bud made their home in Waterbury Center where they raised their four children. She was an avid gardener, her flower beds flourished and showed her labor of love. Bud’s green thumb in their vegetable garden produced lots of veggies for her to freeze and can. 

Roberta worked as a nurse’s aide for several years at the Berlin Convalescent Home and later did private duty nursing.  She had a servant’s heart and volunteered often as a carpool mom to her children’s sporting events, at the Waterbury Center Grange Hall, as a member of the Waterbury Center Methodist Church. Anyone who knew her felt her innocence, kind-heartedness and gentle soul. Helping thy neighbor came easily to Roberta and her thoughtfulness showed in the little things she did for others.

She opened her home and cared for her father when he was terminal, helped with her brother Charles and nursed him back to health after having bypass surgery, sat with family during illnesses. 

In their retirement, Roberta and Bud moved to Enosburg where they resided for 24 years. She cared for Bud as he progressed with Alzheimer’s until his final breath. She did this effortlessly, with love and was such a blessing to many.  She brought immeasurable joy and light into our lives with her radiant smile, loved unconditionally with pure gentleness. We will forever miss our precious sweet Mom but know in our hearts she’s in her final resting with our Dad.  

Roberta was predeceased by her son Gary Martin of Barre, Vermont, and she is survived by her children, Phyllis Gratton of Essex, Vermont; Priscilla Hammond and her husband Randy of Burlington, Vermont; Pam Harris and her husband Scott of Bartow, Florida; and extended family. 

Roberta was the sister of the late Glen Mosier, Jr., Charles Mosier and Sandra Bushey. She leaves siblings Rose Lamoureux, Janice Gratton and Barbara Corse. She also leaves her Florida, Texas and Carolina extended families where she spent her last five winters, enjoying the milder temperatures. 

For those who wish, donations in lieu of flowers may be made in Roberta’s memory to New England K9 Search and Rescue (NEK9) P.O. BOX 407, Grantham, NH 03753.
