Jana Gayle (Delk) Roberts was born September 11, 1951 in Anadarko, Oklahoma to Donald "Gene" and Billen (Jones) Delk. She passed away at home surrounded by her family on Tuesday, September 3, 2024 at the age of 72.

The family will receive visitors on Tuesday, September 10, at Crews Funeral Home from 5:00-7:00 P.M. A funeral service is planned for 1:00 P.M., Wednesday, September 11, at The Cowboy Church south of Apache, officiated by Jed Linebough and assisted by Dennis King. Interment will follow in Fairview Cemetery. Serving as pallbearers are her sons: Shay and Dru Brummer and grandsons: Gavin, Cole, Cade, and Reed Brummer.

In her early years, Jana grew up in a rural area where she enjoyed playing with her brother and sister. She graduated from Apache High School in 1969. She went on to attend Cameron University, graduating in 1985 with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. She taught first and second grade at Apache Public School for 23 years and, deservingly, won Teacher of the Year in 2008. Jana loved working at the school and would rarely take time off. She loved teaching and seeing the smiling faces of her students each day. What made her most proud was having past students come up to her while out shopping to thank her for their early teachings.

On April 26, 1989, Jana and Jim Roberts were united in marriage in Apache. They built a life together in Apache, Edmond, and Elgin. Jana enjoyed traveling, taking trips with her mom and dad, and snow skiing. Most of all, Jana loved spending time with her grandsons both outside and in the swimming pool they put in for them to enjoy. She will be dearly missed but her family will remember her as a devoted wife, mother, and Nana.

Preceded in death by her parents and grandparents, Jana is survived by her husband of 35 years, Jim; children: Shay Brummer and wife Natalie, Dru Brummer and wife Tammi; grandchildren: Gavin Brummer, Cole Brummer, Cade Brummer, Reed Brummer; brother, Rick Delk and wife Kathy; and sister, Jeanne Holden and husband Bobby. Other survivors include nieces: Heather Pratt, Sara Holden, Jenna Grozichs; nephews: Cory Delk, Dustin Holden; and many cousins, aunts, and uncles.
