Badisa Trio said farewell to Marietta Robberts with grateful hearts after more than 9 years of faithful voluntary puppet show service. Marietta was always full of joy and enthusiasm, even spontaneously singing “Happy Birthday” to an 80-year-old lady in the coffee shop during our farewell tea and cake celebration!

Over the years, she dedicated countless hours of her time with passion, love, a warm smile, and a heart for children. Through her puppet shows and caring spirit, she made a lasting difference in the lives of many children and families in our community.

We are incredibly thankful for everything Marietta has meant to our children, our team, and the broader community. Her kindness, creativity, and willingness to serve will always be remembered.

Although we are going to miss her dearly, we are also excited for this new chapter in her life as she begins a wonderful retirement by the sea.

Marietta shared the following heartfelt message:

“It was such a great privilege for me to be part of Badisa Trio for about 9 years. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to live out my passion.

I am not leaving because I want to, but because I am entering a new and exciting season of life. Thank you so much to the management team for my wonderful gift, I truly appreciate it.”

Thank you, Marietta, for the love, laughter, and hope you brought to so many. May this next season be filled with joy, peace, and many beautiful moments.
