Roberta Jean Grant

GRANT - With heavy hearts, the family of Roberta Jean Grant announces her passing on June 25, 2026, at the age of 68. Roberta was born on November 13, 1957, in Rensselaer, Indiana. Just a few days after her birth, she was lovingly adopted by Robert and Imogene Barnes of Monticello, Indiana, who raised her with endless love and support. She spent her childhood on Bluewater Drive, where life revolved around the lake and simple family joys. Some of her favorite memories included summers at Indiana Beach, evenings at the drive-in theater, and growing up in the close-knit community she always considered home. Roberta graduated from Twin Lakes High School in 1976. On November 10, 1979, Roberta married the love of her life, Terry Robert Grant. Together they built a life centered on love and family. She lovingly embraced Terry’s daughters, Stephanie and Misty, as her own, and together they welcomed daughters Amanda and Jennifer, completing the family she cherished so deeply. As a devoted Army wife for more than 40 years, Roberta embraced every adventure military life brought. Their journey took them from Fort Bragg, North Carolina, to Gelnhausen, Germany, then Wilmington, North Carolina, before finally settling in Stone Mountain/Monroe, Georgia, where they made their home for the past 26 years. Throughout her life, Roberta worked in retail, banking, and eventually retired from the Gwinnett County School System. No matter where she worked, she was known for her kindness, strong work ethic, and genuine care for others. Family was always the center of Roberta’s world. She loved shopping trips, playing games, vacationing and creating lasting memories with those she loved most. In 2009, she was honored to bring her parents from Indiana to Georgia so she could lovingly care for them during their final years-a role she considered one of life’s greatest privileges. One of the greatest blessings of her life came just five years ago when she was reunited with her biological mother, Linda, and the Smith family. That reunion brought her a sense of peace and completeness that she treasured for the rest of her life. Roberta was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Terry Robert Grant, and her parents, Robert and Imogene Barnes. She leaves behind a family who will forever cherish her memory: daughters Stephanie Richter (Tracy) of Jacksonville, Florida; Misty Kelsey (Brian) of West Lafayette, Indiana; Amanda Padgett (David) of Marion, North Carolina; and Jennifer Grant of Monroe, Georgia. Her greatest joy was being “Mimi” to the grandchildren she adored: Blaine, Brady, Logan, Landon, Emma, Peyton, Emma, Aiden, Aubrey, Ryan, Cameron, and Shane. Each of them held a special place in her heart, and she treasured every moment spent with them.Roberta will be remembered for her unwavering love for her family, her generous heart, her quiet strength, and the way she always made others feel welcomed and cared for. Though she will be deeply missed, her legacy of love, compassion, and devotion will live on through everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. A private graveside service will be held at Georgia National Cemetery for the family at a later time. Arrangements by Tim Stewart Funeral Home, 209 South Hammond Drive, Monroe, Georgia 30655.
