Mary Elizabeth Greene Roberts

Mary Elizabeth Greene Roberts, 83, passed peacefully May 2, 2026, at her home in Lexington. Known affectionately as Meg, she was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was known for her abounding energy and zest for life, and she never tired of a chance to be with friends and family. Meg truly was a people person, always seeing the best in everyone.

Meg enjoyed spending time at her beloved mountain home in Whittier, North Carolina, prior to her declining health. It was here she found her true peace. She shared her love of the mountains with friends and family. Her grandchildren especially recall many fond memories playing in the creeks, building forts and painting river rocks.

Meg was born November 6, 1942, to the late William Anderson Greene and Mary Hydrick Greene.

She is survived by her husband of 64 years, William “Bill” Roberts; and her children, Steve (Vickie) Roberts of Lexington, South Carolina, Chip (Sharon) Roberts of Gilbert, South Carolina, and Ted (Julie) Roberts of Leesville, South Carolina. Meg is survived by her grandchildren, Casey (Brett) Vigrass of Johns Island, South Carolina, Clay Roberts of North Charleston, South Carolina, Cody (Ariel) Roberts of Leesville, South Carolina, Will (Kellie) Roberts of Hartsville, South Carolina, Tanner (Carol) Roberts of West Columbia, South Carolina, Dylan (Brooke) Roberts of Lexington, South Carolina, and Nick (Hannah) Roberts of Richmond Hill, Georgia. She also survived by 11 great-grandchildren, Emma and Mary Chambers Vigrass, Walker and Luca Roberts, Woods, Wilder and Hunter Roberts, Bella and Leroy Roberts, and Brody and Wade Roberts. In addition to many special nieces and nephews, Meg is also survived by sisters, Pat Yongue of Orangeburg, South Carolina, Cecila (Tommy) Grimes of Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, Dorothy (Dicky) Benson of Charleston, South Carolina; and brother, Bill (Harriette) Greene of Seattle, Washington.
