Roberta was the brains and passion of our Hinman Avenue neighborhood. When we became involved in Evanston issues she was the one sought for guidance and ideas. She also participated in all the work that needed to be done.
We have all been transformed by her company, her impeccable manners, and tea time with Roberta.
We will always remember our beautiful warrior.
With enduring affection,
Madeleine Bennett

Roberta exuded a beauty from within that was captivating. She was so full of fiery energy and life that the very nature of her being touched everyone who knew her. We were all privileged to know her. May God receive her with all good embrace.
