Roberta was born in 1942. She was the daughter of Robert Chamberlin and Jeanne LeBas.
In her memoir Jeanne Chamberlin remembered that her first born never moved her legs. Being inexperience she didn't realize that she was paralyzed. The doctors didn't want to tell her what was really wrong and that her little girl was not going to get better.
Roberta Jeanne suffered from hydrocephalus and passed away at nearly six months of age.
