Roberta Ann Williams, 70, Jump River, died Friday, March 5, 2010 at Aspirus Wausau Hospital.

She was born on March 1, 1940 in Stanley, Wis., the daughter of the late Clayton and Georgia "Joyce" (Nuernberg) Peterson.

She is survived by her five children, Hugh (Pat) Williams of Cheyenne, Wyo., Dave (Roxie) Williams and Danny Williams, both of Jump River, LeRoy (Rhonda) Williams of Fort Collins, Colo., and Karen (Chuck) Sedlachek of Green Bay; 10 grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; and her siblings, Robert (Kim) Peterson of Tennessee, Pat Beinlich of San Diego, Calif., Millicent (Rick) Moore of Anaheim, Calif., Ginger Vellorys of Belvidere, Ill., Charlie (Mary Ellen) Peterson of Barrington, Ill., and Donna Hyser of Poplar Grove, Ill.
