Roberta Irene Amstutz, 57, passed away on Saturday, Sept. 21, 2013, at her Billings home surrounded by family and dear friends. Through a five-year struggle with ovarian cancer, she made the very best of life.

Robbie earned a BS in nursing with a specialty in psychiatry, from Troy State University and a Masters of Education from the University of Tulsa. She taught in elementary schools in Oklahoma and also worked at Shadow Mountain Residential and Children's Medical Center, Tulsa, Okla.
