Irma Roberts Obituary

Ms. Irma Yolanda Roberts (Portillo Becerra), 64, born on March 14, 1957 in Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico passed in her Hamburg residence on October 31, 2021. Mrs. Irma, as she was lovingly known, retired from Georgia Pacific Plywood Mill and worked at Medlin’s Metal where she made lifelong friends. She was a native of Hamburg since 1989, living in Crossett and Beekman areas prior. 
 
Irma was a talented seamstress, animal lover, and prided herself in her work ethic, her home and her family. Her no nonsense attitude was admired by many, and she always enjoyed a good joke and time with family. She loved to host and cooking for anyone who visited her, her grandchildren fondly remember meals at Mima’s. As a devout Catholic she never missed an opportunity to thank God for her many blessings and share a prayer with and for anyone. 
 
She is preceded in death by her mother, Margarita Becerra de Portillo (of Chihuahua, Mexico); her sister, Martha Hernandez (of Three Creeks, Arkansas) and a nephew Richard Portillo (of Ellisville, Mississippi). 
 
She is survived and dearly missed by her father, Leonardo Portillo Balderrama of El Dorado; her children, Veronica Martinez of Crossett, AR, Manuel “Manny” Monrreal (Helen) of El Dorado, AR, Irma Yolanda Portillo of New York, and Darwin Troy “Darren” Roberts of Hamburg, AR; her grandchildren, Kerstin Margarita Mondragon (Elias) of Crossett, AR, Victor Manuel Martinez (Maria) of Crossett, AR, Oracio Guadalupe Martinez of Crossett, AR, Carmyn Marie “Carmelita” Monrreal of El Dorado, AR and her first great-grandchild Jimena Evette “Jimmie” Martinez of Crossett, AR. She is also survived by her siblings, Leonardo Portillo, Poli Portillo, Richie Portillo, Jose Portillo, Martin Portillo, Lola Elias, Maggie Goff, and Griselda Dorman and a host of nieces and nephews. 
 
Irma made a lasting impression on everyone who met her. She will be missed.
