Roberta Ann Schade Bullock

Roberta grew up in the large city of Los Angeles, California, and lived in the same
house all of her childhood. She was the youngest of four daughters of Marlon and Nell
Jackson Schade. During her childhood, her favorite activities were roller-skating on
the sidewalk in front of her home and climbing the big tree that stood by the sidewalk.

for many opportunities to serve as an accompanist for choirs and other singing groups
and as a organist for Jr. Sunday School and Sunday School.
While at Hollywood High School, she was very active in student affairs. She held many
offices, including that of Student Body Vice President and Cheer Leader. There were
about 10 LDS in her high school of 2000.
At 17, she left home to attend Brigham Young University. The 2 ½ years she spent living
with and associating with mostly LDS, were very happy years for her. She loved the
testimony meetings at the student wards and her young testimony grew stronger. During
the 3rd year at BYU she met Burt Warren Bullock, a football player from Wyoming, who
was also attending the “Y”. They fell in loved and were married 16 February 1961, in
the Los Angeles Temple.
Roberta was anxious, as a new bride, to establish a new patterned in many ways after
the home of her parents where there was much loved and affection shown for each other.

as her mother had taught her. To date, Roberta and Burt ahd 9 children and loves her
role as a mother, wife, and servant of her Heavenly Father.
Roberta and Burt have moved several times in their years of marriage. Their homes have
included: Rawlins, Wyoming; Hollywood,Califonia; Northridge, California; Arcadia,
California; Saratoga, California; Lake Oswego, Oregon. Each time the family moved, it
was for business opportunites for Burt.
Each ward they have lived in has blessed their lives. Roberta has worked in all the
organizations of the church and has considered each calling a choice opportunity for
growth and service. She has loved doing genealogy work too.
Her greatest goal is to stay close to the church and to help each of her children to
gain a strong testimony of the gospel that they might all be found worthy to return to
the Celestial Kingdom with their Father in Heaven.
