​Roberta Cooper was born in 1939 in Manhattan and soon after moved to Brownsville. Roberta went to public school in Brownsville and to a Jewish after school program. She married later in life to a widower with children of his own. About 20 years ago they moved to Florida to a retirement community. Sadly, Roberta’s husband passed away about 10 years ago and Roberta moved into an assisted living facility. Then after that facility closed down approximately five or six months ago, Roberta transfered to one of the facilities where TOP gives classes and was hooked right away. TOP is the highlight of her week and she is the first person in the class waiting for it to begin!
