Roberta “Bobbi” K. Kvale, age 74 of Clintonville passed away Saturday March 30, 2024 at the ThedaCare Regional Medical Center in Appleton following a brief cancer diagnosis.
Roberta Kaye Jordan was born on October 13, 1949 in Kewaunee as the daughter of the late Robert and Maxine (Smith) Jordan. She graduated from Kewaunee High School and moved to California for a short time prior to moving back to Wisconsin. Roberta, affectionately known as “Bobbi”, was married 4 times and welcomed a daughter Stacey into her life. The two remained best friends and were always together. For the past 20 plus years, Bobbi was united in marriage to Tom Kvale and the couple made their home in Clintonville. Bobbi looked forward to camping with friends and family at Captain’s Cove and could play a mean game of “Farkle” or “Up Yours”. She had a great sense of humor and it was neat to see her eyes light up whenever she was around her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Daughter: Stacey (Mike) Nielson.
Grandchildren: Travis (Cheyenne) Loose & Chase (Kelsey Holderman) Loose.
Great-Grandchildren: Quinn & Wyatt Loose.
