I remember the photo of ” Bert” in our IMH 1958 yearbook all wound up like a pretzel. She was so cute with her head looking through the argyle knee socks. She had a good sense of humor and was a regular comedian.
I think she was also in charge of our first class reunion and always attended the “Homecoming ” for IMH.
Sad to hear the news but she is at peace now.
My sincere condolences to her family.

I am so sad to hear that Roberta has passed. She was a friend of my mother’s, but quickly became a friend of mine. I had lost touch and was looking for her contact information online when I found this site. She was such a good person, had a great sense of humor, and was a source of wisdom for me. I am so sad to hear of her loss. My condolences to her family. She was truly a remarkable person!!
