Roberta Townes

January 18, 1967 - October 23, 2021

To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die; a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance. (Ecclesiastics 3) ROBERTA ANN TOWNES (affectionately called Mugg) was born to the late Dorothy Lee Townes and Robert Eastman on January 18, 1967, in Baltimore, Maryland. She departed this life on Saturday afternoon, October 23, 2021 at 2:21 p.m. at Gilchrist Hospice. Mugg attended schools in the Baltimore City Public School System. She enjoyed reading, watching TV, listening to music, playing video games, cooking and watching basketball games. She especially enjoyed and was fond of baking her mother’s chocolate cake recipe. Her hobby was making beaded jewelry. As the curtain of life is drawn, she leaves to cherish her life, love and memory: her son, Lee Christopher Townes, Sr.; her grandson, Lee Christopher Townes, Jr.; three sisters, Willie Townes Ross/Bobbi, Pearlie M. Davis/Doll and Carolyn A. Townes/Shugg; three brothers, William/ Rudy, Luther/Kenneth and Alton (Keisha) Townes, one sister-in-law, Elizabeth Townes; four nephews, Kevin Townes, Chicory Calhoun, Eric Townes and Raymond Davis; two nieces, Wendy Townes and Rhonda Calhoun; a host of great-nephews, great-nieces, cousins, and friends.
