Obituary for
Roberta Joan "Bobbi" Luke
Roberta (Bobbi) Joan Luke, 77, of Polson, passed away on Saturday March 22, 2015 at Kalispell Regional Hospital with family by her side.
She was born on June 21, 1937 in Kalispell to Bill & Charlotte Wilhelm. She graduated from Polson High School in 1956 and married Clifford Luke on September 11, 1956. They celebrated 55 years of marriage together. Cliff and Bobbi were members of the Spark and Throttle car club in Polson, and made many life long friends there.
Bobbi was an avid bowler in earlier years. She enjoyed many crafts and was an excellent seamstress in her prime. She loved gardening, canning, cooking and entertaining guests. From her many hobbies, we remember fondly the cabbage rolls, dill pickles, and one particular year of homemade cherry wine. The Luke house was often a place for friends and family to drop in anytime. The coffee was always on.
In recent years, she delighted most of all in family visits, especially from her grandchildren and great grandchildren, as well as her beloved nieces, nephews and cousins.
Bobbie was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Clifford Luke, and a granddaughter, Amber Luke.
Survivors include her sisters; Charleen Perkins, Loretta Jepson and Chris (Jim) Schultz, and her children; Ernie Luke, Marilyn (Lynn) Cooper, Kenny (Diana) Luke, and Colleen Oden. Her grandchildren: Teresa Cooper, Amanda (Mike) Lukaitis, Jesse (Vanessa) Oden, Annie Luke, CW2 Charlie Cooper, Airman Nathan Luke, Roddy (Melissa) Oden, Abby Luke and Aaron Luke. Her great grandchildren: Romelle, Mason and Emmitt Oden and Gabriella Luke. Among her beloved family she also leaves three brother-in-laws, four sisters-in-laws, along with 20 nieces and nephews and many great-nieces and great-nephews.
Visitation will be on Friday 1-5 at the Lake Funeral Home. Funeral Services will be at the Polson Presbyterian Church at 10:30, with graveside services to follow and then a luncheon back at the church afterward. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to either the Polson Presbyterian Church or the Polson Community Church.
