Cedar Rapids
Robert “Bob” Lee Wolverton, of Cedar Rapids, IA passed on December 7, 2024, at 85 years old. At age 57 Bob retired from Rockwell Goss Graphics in Cedar Rapids, Iowa after 22 years of service allowing for a long retirement. He moved to Missouri, Georgia, and South Carolina, but eventually found his way back to Cedar Rapids, which he always felt was home. His Christian soul is no doubt sitting peacefully among friends on the bank of calm waters patiently watching his fishing line and appreciating the natural beauty surrounding him.
He is survived by his 3 daughters, Debi (Mike) Wright, Lauri Morataya, and Teri (Rick) Wilson, 7 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren. Brother to Donna (Gary) Robertson, Lana (Dave) Baker, Deanna (Larry) Robinson, Gary Wolverton, and the late Marla (Geary) Chambers.
A Celebration of Life Service will be held Spring/Early Summer 2025 for friends and family. Cedar Memorial Funeral Home is handling the arrangements. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Linn County Conservation, 10260 Morris Hills Road, Toddville, IA 52341 or online at: www.linncountyiowa.gov and then searching “Conservation Donations and Gifts”.
