Emilee Caroline Roberts, affectionately known as "Ya Ya," entered Heaven to be with Jesus on Monday, October 21, 2024, at the age of 48. We honor the life she lived and the newfound health she now enjoys in Heaven. Emilee passed away peacefully in her home in Bethany.

Born on April 18, 1976, in Oklahoma City, OK, Emilee was the daughter of Joe and Wendee Roberts. As a child, she loved playing outside with her many friends and dancing. She attended Central Elementary and Putnam City West High School, later earning her cosmetology degree from Francis Tuttle Technology Center.

Although Emilee never married, she was blessed with a daughter, Rainee Ball (Roberts). Together, they created countless cherished memories in their cozy home in Bethany, often spending time listening to music or playing with their dogs.

In addition to being a devoted Ya Ya, Emilee enjoyed music, fishing, and long drives, but her greatest joy was her family, especially her grandchildren. She dedicated over twenty years to her work at Dean McGee Eye Institute, positively impacting many lives. Emilee exemplified God's love through her service to others.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Wendee Roberts; her uncle, Rod Powers; and many loving grandparents. Emilee is survived by her daughter, Rainee Ball (Ryan Ball); her father, Joe Roberts; her sister, Sara Hall (Brian Hall); her beloved grandchildren, Emilia, Elliana, Elora, and Elicia Ball; and her nephew, Rogan Hall. She is also survived by her aunts and uncles, Katie Stoller (Jim Stoller), Hi Roberts, Jim Roberts, Bernadette Powers, Rusty Cottrell (Ed Cottrell), and numerous cousins and friends.

"But they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up

with wings like eagles; they shall run and not grow weary; they shall walk and not

faint."
