Donlee Elizabeth Smiddie Roberson is finally HOME! Donlee’s heavenly return was Thursday, January 26, 2023. She was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee on April 8, 1947, during a thunderstorm. How appropriate for someone who loved a grand entree! Donlee’s favorite job was as a payroll clerk for the ProGroup golf company in Chattanooga. Because she was always cheerful, positive and smiling, Donlee was often referred to as ProGroup’s cheerleader. She was definitely her kids’ biggest cheerleader and best mom. Donlee relied heavily on her faith in Jesus Christ and knew that he would be with her through the trials and tribulations of life. Donlee was a faithful member of the Second Presbyterian Church where she taught Sunday school and participated in the Margaret Winslett Circle. She was pursued in death by her father, Richard Elmer Smiddie; mother, Norma Martin Bowen; brother, Fred DeMars Bowen; husband, Harold Miller Roberson and son, Todd Christopher Roberson. Those who cherish his memory are his daughter, Natasha Roberson Condra (Kevin); brother, Kelley Smiddie; sister, Tina Bowen Westfield (Danny); best friend, Jeanne Brewer Tatum; big dog, Jennie Louise Condra and several nieces and nephews. The family would like to give special thanks to her sister, Tina Bowen Westfield; Dear family friend, Tracy Tatum Choate, Dr. Donald Ziegler and the amazing staff at Abby Mae Facility for their love, dedication and care for Donlee during her long illness. A celebration of life will be held at Second Presbyterian Church 700 Pine Street Chattanooga, TN 37402 on Saturday, February 4, 2023 at 11 a.m. with a reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, the family asked that donations be made to the King’s Chest Fund of the Second Presbyterian Church. Arrangements are in the custody of Chattanooga Funeral Home North Chapel, Cremat Ory and Florist, 5401 Highway 153, Hixson. Please share your thoughts and memories at www.chattanooganorthchapel.co m
