Roberta Sonneborn Obituary
She was previously married to Jack B. Garfinkle and later to Charles B. Sonneborn.
Roberta will be profoundly missed by her youngest sister, Rita Coopersmith. Her middle sister, Eileen Hermann passed away in 2011.
Roberta was so lucky to have spent the last 13 beautiful years with her loving partner, Marvin Fischer.
Roberta graduated from Coolidge High School and worked as a Medical Secretary for Walter Reed Hospital. She later became an Executive Assistant at NIH for the Department of Ethical Treatment of Animals.
Roberta was a stunningly beautiful woman who turned heads wherever she went. She was even a runner up in the 1959 Miss Washington contest. She loved her family, her life, and made friends wherever she went. She also loved to entertain, attend cultural events, parties, and dance the night away.
