Roberta “Bertie” Leona Clinton, age 97, of Wyoming, was called home on Thursday, August 28, 2025. Bertie was a devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother. She spent her early years growing up in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, a place that always held a special place in her heart and where she cherished time with family. Bertie loved tending to her garden, nurturing both flowers and vegetables with care. One of her fondest childhood memories was catching frogs in the U.P.—a simple joy that blossomed into a lifelong fondness for them. She was preceded in death by her husband, Gordon Clinton; son, Kevin Clinton; son-in-law, Ronald Sage; daughter-in-law, Dina Case-Milian. She will be lovingly remembered by her children, Sandra Sage, Gary Clinton, Mark Clinton; grandchildren, Kristine and Mark Stedman, Wayne and Karen Sage, Beau Clinton, Shaina Clinton, Robert Clinton, Jill and Troy Hanks, Kevin Clinton II; great-grandchildren, Clayton and Pauline Stedman, Brennan Stedman and Halle Holmes, Ashlin and Blake Posthumus, Kennedy Sage, Asher Clinton; great-great-grandchild, Myles Stedman; close friends, Darla Stys, Jim and Marcia Elliot; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Funeral services will be held 11 am Friday, September 5 at Matthysse Kuiper DeGraaf Funeral Home, 4031 Clyde Park Ave SW, Wyoming, with Rev. Rob Schmidt officiating. Burial will be held at Rosedale Memorial Park. Relatives and friends may meet the family Friday from 10-11 at Matthysse Kuiper DeGraaf Funeral Home, 4031 Clyde Park Ave SW, Wyoming. The family would like to say a special thank you to her friends and staff at Commonwealth of North Byron for their wonderful love and care they gave to Bertie.
