Roberta studied at Yeshiva elementary and junior high and graduated from James Monroe High School in Bronx, New York where she lived until her marriage to Murray Altman.

Roberta moved to Southern California in 1978 and divorced Murray in 1979. She met Howard Oberstein there in 1983 who became her husband of 40 years and began a wonderful life with him which included traveling all over the world together and building a successful direct marketing business together. They lived and worked in the San Fernando Valley. After surviving breast cancer in 2014, Roberta and Howard adopted Gracie and she began a life of being a great “dog mom” and loved every day that she could spend with Gracie and Howard. Roberta is Grandma/nana to Renee, Michelle, Devin, Lauren, Sophie and Desmond, and Great Grandma to Ethan and Lucas. She was a second mother to many. Everyone who met Roberta instantly loved her.
