She became a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and worked as an accountant for the Midland Borough, PA Cyber, RODIS, and lastly Buckeye Online School for Success (BOSS), where she worked from its inception to her retirement.

Roberta was a faithful parishioner at Saint Blaise Roman Catholic Parish where she served for many years as a Eucharistic Minister. She was a loyal member of the Midland Pool where she and her close friends were affectionately known as “the Pool Ladies”. She had deep friendships with “the Girls” – six wonderful classmates whose friendship stood the test of time. When the sun was out, Roberta was happy. She loved taking trips to any beach and would be the first one to arrive at the beach, and the last one to leave. Jamboree in the Hills was a special place for her and her dear Jambo buddies, who would enjoy four days of country music, dancing, and sunshine. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Roberta was an avid Pittsburgh sports fan.

The family wishes to thank her oncologist Dr. Krivak and his dedicated team for all of their help and support over the last four years, as well as the loving AHN Hospice staff.
