ROBERTA ANN (REN) TAYLOR Obituary (1935

Roberta (Berta) Taylor, 86, died on January 30, 2022 at Bee Hive Homes Assisted Living in Kalispell. She was born April 10, 1935 in Wolf Point, Montana to Milo "Emery" and Virginia Ren. Roberta was a twin to Robert "Bob" Ren and they were number 4 and 5 of 7 children. Roberta was married to Delphin "Del" Gunderson in Columbia Falls on April 29, 1955, and they had 2 sons, Steve and Scott Gunderson. Del preceded Berta in death on December 31, 1982. Roberta and Jim Taylor were later married on May 5th, 1984. Roberta and Jim enjoyed life together until Jim passed on June 27th, 2011. Roberta reconnected with a longtime friend Howard Paullin and the two were inseparable. They danced, golfed, power walked, did road trips and greatly enjoyed life together. Sadly Howard passed away on Oct 4th, 2019. Roberta continued to live life and devote herself to her Lord and Savior and was truly a cherished member of the Church of God and regularly gave of herself so that others not so fortunate could be helped through the church. Roberta was a very active member of the Lincoln County Republican Club and active with local politics. Berta was a wonderfully dedicated volunteer at the Libby Community Thrift Store for many years. She served as President and was instrumental in the yearly scholarship donation to Libby High School. The isolation created by the last 2 years took its toll on her as she was not able to stay as active as she had. She passed peacefully surrounded by family and friends. Berta went to her Lord with a clear mind, knowing she will meet with family and friends. Roberta is preceded in death by her parents and siblings Doug, John, Will, Bob, Mike and Terry. Survivors include her sons, Steve (Cherie) Gunderson, Libby; and Scott (Linda) Gunderson, Kalispell; grandsons Dustin, Kalispell; and Jason, Livingston; Ryan, Missouri; great grandkids Clayton and Hadley.
