Norma Roberta Fullmer Jorgensen 
 August 6, 1931 - September 28, 2025 

Norma Roberta Fullmer Jorgensen, age 94, of West Valley City, Utah, passed away peacefully on September 28, 2025, from causes incident to age. 

Roberta was born on August 6, 1931, in Darlington, Idaho, to Albert Whiting Fullmer Sr. and Norma Richardson Fullmer. She was the second of seven children and developed a strong spirit of resilience and love from an early age. 

At a church dance celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Latter-day Saints' arrival in the Salt Lake Valley, Roberta met the love of her life, Kay Lerwill Jorgensen. They were sealed for time and all eternity in the Idaho Falls Temple on her 17th birthday. From that day forward, they built a life of faith, hard work, and devotion to family. 

Roberta graduated from Mackay High School and soon embraced motherhood, raising nine children. Her first three-Louise (1949), Wendell (1950), and Carl (1951)-came quickly, followed by a life-altering diagnosis: polio. Though doctors doubted she would survive, walk again, or bear more children, Roberta defied every expectation. She went on to raise six more children-Gary (1953), Karalea (1954), Lora Jean (1955), Allen (1957), Brent (1962), and Ronnie (1965)-with courage, determination, and an unfailing sense of humor. 

She lived with the effects of polio for 74 years but never let it define her. Her children never once heard her complain. She simply kept going-serving, teaching, and loving. 

Roberta was a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She served faithfully in many callings, including Relief Society President, Primary President, ward organist, and teacher to countless children and youth. Her faith was quiet but unwavering, and her life was one of service. 

Funeral services will be held Monday, October 6, 2025 , 11:00 a.m. at the Jordan North 5th Ward, 3836 West 4100 South, West Valley City, Utah.
