Co-owner with her brother Donald Clinton of Clifton's Cafeteria, a legendary Los Angeles eatery opened in 1931. Her parents, Clifford and Nelda Clinton, founded the restaurant on Olive Street in downtown Los Angeles. Operating even today, the cafeteria became famous for its elaborate South Sea Island decorations, including waterfalls, palm trees, forest settings and grottos. It also had plenty of neon and live entertainment. She established a policy that the restaurant would serve anyone a meal, even if they could not afford it. She was the "Trustee Emeritus" of Stephens' College for Women, having graduated there in 1944. During World War II, the restaurant was a frequent destination for military personnel on leave, and live broadcasts were held there with many noted celebrities. In the 1950s, children asked their parents if they could eat at Clifton's Cafeteria because they were given a small red paper flag on a toothpick on their plate. Upon leaving to pay the bill, the flags could be exchanged for a small toy from a glass case; these collectables are prized by many. Mrs Roeschlaub became the heir to Clifton's with her brothers Edmund and Donald. When her first husband, David J. Davis, died in 1963, she became vice-president and co-owner of Clifton's Brookdale Restaurant. Her second husband, Ronald Roeschlaub, died in 2005. She died at age 83, the victim of a homicide, according to Glendale Police. She once said "you owe something back to the community which is giving you a living". She served for more than 20 years as the chief board member of the Assistance League of Southern California, staging balls and fundraisers. She was the only woman on the Glendale Federal Savings board of directors and held offices in the Family Service Auxiliary, Children's Service League, Las Floristas, Girl Scouts, Volunteer Bureau of Los Angeles and local and national positions with the Stephens College Alumnae Association. She was considered a woman of integrity and generosity.
