Friends and family will gather Monday afternoon at Oral Roberts University to remember the life of Evelyn Roberts.

The wife of Oral Roberts" died last week after slipping into a coma when she fell and hit her head in a fall. 6 in the Morning reporter Omar Villafranca says Evelyn Roberts was in Southern California when she fell in a dentist's parking lot and hit her head. She died the next day in a California hospital.

Evelyn Roberts was married to Oral Roberts for more than 66 years. The mother of four helped her husband build up his ministry and university. Evelyn Roberts also wrote several books.

Friends of the family told the News on 6 they'll remember her as a gracious and very spiritual woman.

Her public memorial service will be held at 2 PM. It was originally going to be held at the Christ's Chapel on campus, but since so many people are expected to attend, it's been moved to the Mabee Center on the ORU campus.
