Foster Lynwood Roberts Sr.

October 31, 1929 - January 23, 2022

Lynwood, age 92, went to his heavenly home on Sunday, January 23, 2022. He was a native and lifelong resident of Holden, LA. Lynwood proudly served his country in the United States Army. In his younger years, he loved to rabbit hunt with beagles and squirrel hunt. He also loved riding horses and owned a lot of different ones over the years; his favorites were, ‘Paint’ and ‘Hot Shot’. Lynwood also enjoyed raising cattle. In later years, listening to Irish Music, along with Patriotic Songs were always a pleasure to Lynwood. He also was quite often inspired to recite striking poetry. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend who is already dearly missed by those who loved him. Lynwood is survived by his daughters, Sharon Roberts Peak Willard (Gene), Brenda Roberts Herrington (Hal), and Lori Roberts Hood Foster (Tommy); sons, Errol Roberts (Teresa), and Lynwood Roberts, Jr. (Nancy); grandchildren, Darrell, David, Nicole, Anna, Josh, Alex, and Katherine; great-grandchildren, Macy, Chloe, Dave, Liam, Emma, Kinsley, Caysen, Madison, Clayton, Taylor, Justin, and Lilly; and brother, Jerry Roberts (Margaret Ann). Lynwood is preceded in death by his loving wife of 58 years, Norma Lee Wagner Roberts; and grandsons, Michael Ryan, and Corey Scott Hood.
