Roberta J. Chapin-Wilmink's Obituary
Roberta J. Chapin – Wilmink, (nee Sabol) passed away peacefully surrounded by family on February 20, 2025, Aged 81. Born of Stephen Sabol and Ruth E. Miller (deceased) in Cleveland, Ohio. Beloved Wife of the late Joseph R. Chapin and then Robert J. Wilmink. Dearest Mother of Libby (Chris), Laura and George (Becky). Loving Grandmother of 6 and Great Grandmother of 4. Treasured Sister of Charlene Sabol (deceased). During her career she held positions with both the City of Berea and City of Lakewood Police Departments. She also spent many years in the banking/mortgage industry. Roberta’s passion for reading led her to explore thousands of books, a pursuit that mirrored her constant quest for knowledge which she so generously passed on to both family and friends through hours of phone calls and personal visits. She was so very instrumental and such a key part of keeping her family so very close. She also enjoyed cooking, astrology and genealogy. All her knowledge and kindness will be so very missed by those who were fortunate enough to know her.
A celebration of life is planned in the spring for immediate family and friends.
