Roberta V. Zambrano, born August 13, 1947, passed away peacefully on May 17, 2026, at Rosemont Center. A cherished member of her community and a devout Catholic, Roberta lived a life rich with love, creativity, and faith.
Roberta was a proud graduate of West Catholic Girls High School. She devoted much of her professional life to Wells Fargo Bank, where she built a longstanding career marked by steadfast commitment and integrity. Later in life, she continued her vocation with warmth and compassion as a Front Desk Receptionist at St. Thomas Monastery, touching the lives of many around her.
Her passions extended beyond her career. Roberta was an artist at heart, finding joy and solace in painting ceramics and crocheting—talents through which she expressed her gentle spirit. She had a profound love for travel, embracing new places and experiences with enthusiasm and curiosity. Among her favorite pastimes was spending time at the Jersey shore, where she found peace and happiness with family.
Roberta was truly all about family. She held a special place in her heart for her many nieces and nephews, many of whom she acquired as her chosen family. She has been preceded in death by her beloved parents, Alfonso and Yola M. (nee Mancini) Zambrano, and her sister Patricia Warfel. Her legacy of warmth and kindness remained vibrant through those she loved and who loved her in return.
Roberta loved her dog, Monte, with her heart and soul and was a devoted Pet Mom! She was often seen at Rosemont Center with the beloved therapy dog, Tucker, on her lap, and loved her visits with her nephew’s dog, Grayson.
Relatives and friends are invited to Roberta’s visitation on Saturday, May 30, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 10:15 AM at St. Joseph Catholic Church, located at 500 Woodlawn Ave, Collingdale, PA followed by her funeral mass at 10:30 AM. Interment at Holy Cross Cemetery, Yeadon, PA.
Roberta V. Zambrano’s life was one of independent strength, heartfelt creativity, and genuine devotion to those near and dear. Her memory will forever be treasured by all who knew her.
