With deep sorrow and enduring love, we announce the passing of a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, whose presence touched countless lives.
Roberta was the beloved wife of nearly 40 years, a partnership built on love, strength, and unwavering support. Together, they created a family that was the center of her world. She was a proud and loving mother to her two sons, Robert and Steve, and cherished her daughters-in-law, Katelyn and Sarah, as her own. Her greatest joy came from her three beautiful grandchildren, Avery, Rylee, and Lewis, with another precious grandchild on the way—a blessing she eagerly anticipated.
Born in Pittsburgh, she carried the warmth and resilience of her roots wherever she went. For the past 30 years, she made her home in St. Louis, where she became a beloved member of the community and left a lasting impression on all who knew her. It is said that no matter who you were, you felt like she was your best friend—and that was a gift she gave so freely.
She was the cherished daughter of the late John and Rita Perulfi, and a loving sister to her brother, Robert Perulfi, and his wife, Latitia (Tish), and nieces Ashley and Alexis of St. Louis. She is also fondly remembered by her cousins, Eric and Katie Stegemann of Florida. She shared a special bond with her mother-in-law, Rose Biros, and brother-in-law, Jeff Biros, who held her close in their hearts.
A woman of remarkable intelligence and determination, she had an engineering degree and after raising her two sons she went on to complete her master’s degree in accounting and then obtain her CPA. She built a successful career as a CPA and proudly ran her own business for the past 15 years. Through her work, she not only demonstrated professionalism and expertise but also compassion and integrity, earning the trust and admiration of her clients and colleagues.
Her life was defined by kindness, generosity, and an extraordinary ability to connect with others. She had a way of making people feel seen, valued, and loved—a rare and beautiful quality that will never be forgotten.
She will be deeply missed by her family, her friends, and the many lives she touched. The void she leaves behind is immeasurable, and her memory will be cherished forever.
Visitation on Friday, May 8, 2026 from 11:00 AM until 2:00 PM at Kutis South County Chapel (5255 Lemay Ferry Road). Interment following at Park Lawn Cemetery.
