Kittie G. Roby

Kittie Glenn Roby, a resident of Slidell, Louisiana, and most recently of Ft. Worth, Texas passed away on Tuesday, May 19, 2020. Kittie and her twin brother, George, were born in Blum, Texas May 23, 1925 to Kittie Green Glenn and George W. Glenn. In her early 20s she moved to San Diego, CA where she met her husband-to-be. They were married in Texas in 1947 then moved to New Orleans. She is preceded in death by her husband of 66 years, Ivan L. Roby; a grandson, Scott Michael Roby; her parents, George and Kittie Glenn and 10 brothers and sisters. Left to cherish her memories are her 3 children: Kathryn Roby-Smith (Richard), Larry L. Roby (Mary), Glenda Roby Wilson (Wesley); 5 grandchildren: Jonathan Mancuso (Tasha), Jennifer W. Fleming (Anthony), Sean Roby, Eric Roby (Emily), Chad Wilson (Randi); 7 great-grandchildren: Jayci Graves, Mackenzie Mancuso, Aidan Fleming, Mary Payton Fleming, Harper Layne Wilson, Cannon Wilson, Rivers Roby, and one more on the way, as well as her 2 sisters-in-law: Joyce Leblanc and Susan Righter.
Kittie will always be remembered for her generous spirit. She was generous with her time, her talents (hand-embroidered tablecloths were her specialty), her advice, her money, and her opinions!
She loved sitting on her front porch with a cup of coffee watching the birds that came to her bird feeder, and waving to the children on the school bus every morning and afternoon.
She enjoyed football and loved to root for her LSU Tigers on Saturday and her New Orleans Saints on Sunday. She rarely missed a game.
