Rachel Elizabeth Roberts' Obituary
Rachel Elizabeth Roberts, aged 29, of Tampa, FL, passed away from injuries sustained when she was struck by a vehicle at 6:03am on February 28th, 2024.
Rachel made her grand entry into the world on November 30th, 1994 and was affectionately known as Rae Rae. Growing up, she loved playing basketball, listening to music and tinkering with computers. Unfortunately, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and self medication lead her into a downward spiral from which she never recovered. Even still, she had a heart of gold, a great sense of humor and compassion for those who struggled through life.
Rachel is survived by one 5yr old son, Malacchi Roberts, four siblings; Victoria Felder, Shayla Bush, Jasmine Graham & John Graham Jr., her mother, Talmeca Graham, her grandmother, Cynthia Roberts, her uncle who was more like a big brother, John Jacobs II (Dominique Jacobs) and a host of cousins, aunties and uncles.
In lieu of a funeral service, the family will host a memorial and repast at Northside Missionary Baptist Church, located at 5706 N 40th St, Tampa, FL 33610, on March 9th, 2024 beginning at 2pm. All are welcomed. We ask that in order to honor Rachel, everyone wear red, black or white as those were her favorite colors
