Kim Roberts Repp will be remembered by her family for her larger-than-life personality. Born and raised in Cameron, Louisiana, Repp passed away in Eugene on March 11 at the age of 60. She is preceded in death by her parents, a sister, her husband, Bruce Repp, and life partner, Ted Roy.
After her husband’s death in 1982, Repp met Roy and had two children. They eventually relocated to Eugene for a job while Repp’s three oldest children remained in Louisiana.
Repp was proud of her Louisiana heritage, her daughter Shelby Roy says, but also considered herself politically liberal, attending protests and rallies with Roy, who lives in Portland. Growing up, their family celebrated Mardi Gras and ate Cajun food.
