LIBERTY – Roberta Amelia Hussey, 84, of Liberty, passed away on August 6, 2021, at Woodlawn Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Skowhegan.

Roberta was born in Morrill, to Robert Alvin Hatch and Millie May Whitcomb Hatch, on Jan. 15, 1937. She worked at Penobscot Poultry for several years before receiving her CNA certificate. Upon certification she got a job at Augusta Convalescent Center for a few years and then worked at Maine General Hospital in Augusta until her retirement. She had several hobbies she enjoyed, which her family and friends appreciated, including sewing clothes, knitting, baking, and decorating cakes. And everyone loved her cooking.
