Roberta Cole
Roberta “Bobbie” Cole, age 84, passed away on March 6, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family.
Born on Oct. 25, 1940, in Cleveland, Bobbie was a vibrant soul whose warmth and kindness touched everyone she encountered.
She leaves behind her devoted husband, Robert Cole, with whom she shared a true love story that spanned many years. Bobbie’s legacy continues through her children, Vincent Mindzora, Daniel (Julie) Mindzora, Judy (William Zupancic) Mindzora, and Jill Pluth; her grandchildren, Daniel and Mia Mindzora, Shaun Price, Chelsey Chapman, Tori (Alexander) Barbian, Olivia and Brooklyn Zupancic, Angelina Pluth; and her great-grandchildren, Aubrielle, Trey, Ryan and Alexander Jr.
She was preceded in death by her unborn daughter and infant daughter Joyce.
Bobbie’s love expanded beyond her immediate family to include her extended family of Debbie O’Toole, Robert Cole, Brian Cole, and their children and grandchildren.
Her career in cosmetology and childcare allowed her to spread her nurturing spirit and kindness to many. She was a huge animal lover with many pets over the years, including her beloved dog “Buddy Joe.” Some of her favorite pastimes were polka dancing and golf.
But above all, Bobbie cherished and lived for the quality time spent with her family and friends. No matter what the occasion, she was happiest being around her loved ones.
Her enthusiasm was infectious. She was young at heart, always laughing and silly. If she had her choice, she would choose to sit at the “Kids table,” always “Everyone’s mom.”
Bobbie touched countless lives. She was the best wife “Bobbie Jean,” mother “Mom,” grandmother “Busia Bobbie,” great-grandmother “GG,” and friend anyone could ask for.
Visitation for friends and family will be held from 5-8 p.m. on Monday, March 31, 2025, at Burr Funeral Home, 116 South St., Chardon.
The Memorial Mass will begin at 11 a.m. on April 1, 2025, at St. Noel Church, 35200 Chardon Road, Willoughby, with interment to follow at All Souls Cemetery in Chardon Township.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Burr Funeral Home and Cremation Service in Chardon. Condolences and memories may be shared online at www.burrservice.com.
