Roberta "Bobbi" Dworken

Bobbi was a beautiful artist, designer, loving mother and world traveler with her husband of 63 years.

Bobbi’s family came to America from Belgium when she was 3, and eventually settled in Chicago. Bobbi, always the adventurer, hopped on a train alone to attend college at The Ohio State University. There she met Marvin, the love of her life, and their adventure began.

They came back to Cleveland when Marvin finished law school, and raised their 3 children. Bobbi opened a jewelry store with her sister in law, Muriel, had an interior decorating business, created all kinds of art, and found time for tennis, golf and bridge.

But Bobbi’s favorite role was being a grandma to her 8 grandchildren who loved her to pieces. She cherished spending summers by the pool and hosting family dinners. Bobbi planned many fun filled family vacations, providing her children and grandchildren with unforgettable memories, full of laughter. Bobbi’s "Art Z Gram" license plate combined her passions and made everyone smile. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
