Roberta resided in Oberlin, Pennsylvania for many years and worked as a bookkeeper at Harrisburg Buick, where she met Steg who worked there as a salesman.

In August of 1970, they moved to Satellite Beach, Florida, where she worked at Gator Chrysler before eventually moving to Lane Pontiac, retiring in 1999.
Early on she enjoyed roller skating and had a passion for reading and Glenn Miller music which continued throughout her life. Following Steg's passing in 2000, she became a "walking runner" and joined the Space Coast Runners Club in 2005. She continued to participate in races through her 80s, winning many awards in her age group.
Her numerous trophies and medals filled a room in her home. She was also an active member of "The Seaside Stitchers," a local sewing and knitting group which makes numerous items for the specific needs of the community. She was well known for the delicious cakes and goodies that she provided at group gatherings.
