CEDAR FALLS - Roberta Ann Risting, 76, of Minnesota, formerly of Cedar Falls, died at home Friday, Oct. 18, 2013, at the Arbors Assisted Living, Burnsville, Minn.

She was born on Nov. 16, 1936, in Marshalltown daughter of Robert and Beulah Haak Parker.

Survived by a son, Steve (Carol) Risting of Indianapolis; two daughters, Shary (Marc) Stadler of Urbana, Ohio, and Lori (Ken) Risting-Clark of Eagan, Minn.; five grandchildren, Jonathan and Jennifer Risting, Corey Knuppel and Cole and Jordyn Clark; a brother, Clifford (Karen) Parker; two sisters, Arlene Selby and Carol (Bruce) Altenhein; a sister-in-law, Sally (Barry) Starmer; and many nieces and nephews.

Preceded in death by her parents; a brother, Dale Parker; and a brother-in-law, Harold Selby.

Memorial services: 11 a.m. Wednesday at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, Burnsville. She donated her body to the University of Minnesota Medical School.

Bert was a friend to many, and a joy to be around. She was an avid and talented seamstress, and enjoyed playing the organ and singing. She took great comfort in her faith, and was a longtime member of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Burnsville. But her most important role was that of mother and grandmother. Nothing pleased her more than to be with her entire family.

The family extends its gratitude to friends, family, Arbors staff, and Fairview Hospice for the joy they added to her life.
