Robert Estelle (Mosher) Wyman
BATH – Roberta Estelle (Mosher) Wyman, 75, of Bath, passed away peacefully on Oct. 5, 2019 with her loving family by her side. She was born on June 4, 1944 to Robert and Evelyn
Mosher, and grew up in Sterling, Mass. She graduated from Wachusett Regional High School, and went on to earn her degree in Medical Secretarial Studies at Becker Junior College.
After high school, Roberta began working summers as a mother’s helper in Phippsburg and fell in love with the area’s beauty. She eventually moved to Phippsburg when
she married her husband, Swanton Wyman Jr. on Dec. 4, 1976. They welcomed their daughter, Sara, in 1977. Sadly, Swanton was lost at sea on Oct. 5, 1981.
In 1993 Roberta suffered a brain aneurysm rupture. She beat the odds, survived, and made an amazing recovery. Following the aneurysm, she returned to Massachusetts to be near her
family. Roberta eventually moved back to Maine in 2016 to be near her daughter and son-in-law.
Over the years, Roberta worked as a medical secretary, a job she loved and performed very skillfully. She was an excellent cook and baker. She also enjoyed sewing, knitting, quilting,
and painting. Roberta has been described as being the kindest lady with the biggest heart. She truly was. She always put others before herself.
Roberta is predeceased by her parents, Robert and Evelyn Mosher; and her husband, Swanton Wyman Jr.
