First and foremost, Roberta also known as Bertie was an awesome mom and grandmother joyfully raising 8 children who have created 23 grandchildren, 31 great grandchildren with one on the way and 1 great great grandchild. Every night mom would say a pray for all her children and grandchildren reciting their names in the order of their birth.  Thanks to Bertie the Eburg home on Park St in West Haven was always a happy place with lots of friends and relatives visiting. Mom‘s Christmas eve celebrations were epic events.  Family, friends and strangers all received a present and plenty to eat.  Bertie had and amazing green thumb filling her small yard with a cornucopia of flowers.  She was especially proud of her time as secretary and treasurer of several bowling leagues.  She loved to knit and crochet creating blankets, dolls and lots of slippers.  Numerous cats and dogs were also an important part of her life.
