Roberta Ann Hood Aripez , 65, of St. Marys, passed away unexpectedly.
Mrs. Aripez was born August 24th, 1944 in Berlin, New Hampshire. She is the daughter of the late Ralph Otis and Virginia Goodnow Hood. Mrs. Aripez was a graduate of Berlin High School in 1962.

Bobbie, as she was known, spent 21 years with Paul and their two children, Donna Lynn and Eric Paul Carlos, as a Navy wife, traveling to many places in the US and spending four years in Puerto Rico.

She enjoyed traveling and going to the ocean with her family and friends. Bobbie was loved by all who knew her. She had a heart of gold and had complete love for all. She was God’s angel and will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
