June "Jorji" Roberts Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Jorji passed away on July 21, 2019, after years of battling breast cancer which had metastasized about 16 months before. At the time of her passing, she was surrounded by loved ones in the comfort of her own home. Jorji was born to Fred and Sharon Pitts on January 29, 1955 in San Jose, California as their first-born child. Throughout her years, she was known as a loving, giving person. Even as a teenager, and into her adulthood, she would invite people over for dinner who she had just met and – in a way that only Jorji could – found out that they didn’t have any family or friends to enjoy dinner with. During her high school years, she participated in a skit as Jorji Washington, and the nickname stuck with her forever. She graduated from Fremont High School of Sunnyvale, California and attended Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho and Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. She and Randy Davis were married and bore five children: Melanie Moore, Cammie Andersen, Heidi Smith, Amanda Coombs, and Jeff Davis. They also adopted a sixth child, Justin Davis. Later, they were divorced, shortly after which Jorji began her battles with cancer. She first faced two life-threatening rounds of melanoma cancer, then an equally threatening round of breast cancer, all of which went into remission before the breast cancer metastasized and claimed her life. After her first battle with cancer, she met Keith Roberts, and they were married and sealed in the Draper Temple. Keith had five children of his own whom Jorji loved so very much. Their family continues to grow. One of the most memorable things about Jorji is her big smile and uplifting spirit. She was a very pleasant and happy person, no matter the difficulties she faced, and she would put anyone else’s needs before her own. In her eyes, everything and everyone had beauty, and there was always something worth celebrating with a full-fledged party. The number of lives impacted by Jorji is truly immeasurable (seriously, we tried). She was nothing short of an angel on earth, and the wings she kept in hiding have finally sprouted! Jorji’s father preceded her in death; and those that remain include her mother, stepfather, stepmother, 3 sisters, 3 brothers, 11 children, 22 grandchildren, and 2 grandchildren-on-the-way. Funeral Services will be held Saturday, July 27th at 11:00 am at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 49 East Centennial Boulevard, Saratoga Springs, Utah, where Viewings will be held Friday, July 26th from 6:00 to 8:00 pm and prior to services on Saturday from 9:30 to 10:30 am. Interment in Lehi City Cemetery. An ice cream gathering (one of Jorji’s favorite desserts) will follow the services on Saturday, at 5:00 pm, at Trena's home, 2397 South Lakewood, Saratoga Springs, Utah. Anyone is welcome. Funeral Directors: Utah Valley Mortuary.
