Roberta Janice (Dalton) Shuck, age 84, passed away on August 14th, 2024, in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, David Andrew Shuck in 2020. They shared 61 years of marriage together.

Born in Terre Haute, Indiana, Roberta was the daughter of Tipton Dalton and Elsie Throckmartin. Roberta began her career in 1977 with the Concho Arizona School District, working with the Title 1 Reading program. At the age of 49, her passion for teaching led her to earn her Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and later went on to earn her Master’s Degree, all while working and raising her 5 children.

Roberta could often be found enjoying a good book, loving her beloved cat, Missy, helping Dave with his music or in search of good treasures at a local garage sale. She will be remembered by her friends and family for her love of teaching young children and her quick wit.
