She was born September 27, 1920 in Union,SC to the late James Leon and Lilla Hollingsworth Heath.

She attended Winthrop College and was a graduate of the University of South Carolina in Columbia.

After living in Charlotte, NC for a number of years she returned to her hometown of Union, and  was a long time active member of Grace United Methodist Church. She was very involved in her community, and was loved by everyone who knew her.  She loved to cook for others, and was instrumental in organizing many church functions, weddings, Cotillion Debutante  Balls, and was very young at heart with many friends that were 20+ years her junior. She was a caregiver to many, always offering a helping hand when needed. After the death of her husband and son, she moved to Carteret County, NC to live near her daughter. In her later years she continued to enjoy cooking, to the delight of her family and friends and also enjoyed reading many books on her Kindle. She kept in touch with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren who were located far away by means of her Facebook account and email.

She is survived by her daughter, Susan Roberts Goines of Peletier and her longtime partner George Connor (Jack) Casteen of Goldsboro, sons, James Heath Roberts and wife, Linda, of Charlotte, and Alan Norman Roberts and wife, Cathleen, of Aix-en-Provence, France, step-son Thomas Claud Jolly, IV of Brevard, NC; 10 grandchildren, 2 step-grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren.
