April 26, 2020. Age 67. Roberta died peacefully after losing her battle with cancer. She was predeceased by her parents, William Klein and Talva Chapin. She is survived by her sister Marcella Klein, brother-in-law Richard Schaeffer, niece Carolyn Dick, nephew Adrian Dick, brother Christopher Jones, sister-in-law Wang He, stepmother Elinor Klein, and good friend Shirley Wrght.
Roberta taught accounting and finance classes at RIT for 20 years, and at SUNY Brockport for six years. She was a lifelong animal lover, housing many rescue animals of all kinds at her farm in Byron. She had a special place in her heart for senior and special needs animals, and when she could not adopt any more animals, she sponsored adoptions of senior dogs at local rescue organizations.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to Lollypop Farm Humane Society, 99 Victor Road, Fairport, NY 14450 or to any other animal rescue group.
