Jerrie Roba

WVIA gratefully acknowledges a generous bequest from the estate of Jerrie Roba. Jerrie enjoyed a life of exploration and had a wide range of hobbies and passions which included gardening and horticulture; theater; the arts; antiquing; nature and the outdoors; and traveling. Jerrie had a wonderful sense of humor with a knack for making life-long friends wherever she was.

Beginning with formal piano instruction, Jerrie relished her experiences seeing her first opera, live symphony, political repartee and being part of an unparalleled arts community. Jerrie was a supporter of WVIA programming because it stimulates the mind, and she believed in the need for a strong arts community. Jerrie's thoughtful legacy gift will help ensure that WVIA can continue to stimulate minds and enrich the lives of future generations.
