Bieber

Robert Oliver Bieber, 84, of Evans City, peacefully passed away on Tuesday, Dec. 20, 2022, with his family by his side at St. John Specialty Care Home in Mars.

Born June 7, 1938, in Lancaster Township, he was the son of the late Ralph and Beulah Domhoff Bieber.

Bob proudly served in the U.S. Army from 1961 to 1963.

He was a faithful member of the Mount Nebo Presbyterian Church, where he and Shirley raised their children, and he played first base on the church softball team.

Bob worked for the former Pullman Standard until it closed. He was a farmer all of his life and especially enjoyed taking care of the cows. For many years, Oliver tractors were his favorite, but he also spent many hours on “Big Blue” as he called it. He retired from the Edward Gilliland Farm in December of 2017.

His hobbies included deer, coon and fox hunting, making cider and homemade ice cream, tractor pulling, word searches, and playing cards.

He is survived by his wife, Shirley Mae Sloan Bieber, whom he married on Aug. 6, 1965; his children, Randolph (Virlinda) Bieber of Butler, Ella (Dan) Heathcote of Evans City, Timothy Bieber of Evans City, and Nancy (Jay) Reno of Valencia; five grandsons, Christopher, Michael and Nicholas Martinkovich, and Gordan and Dezmen Bieber; 14 great-grandchildren; his siblings, Faye Collins of Zelienople, Sally (Thomas) Davis of Middle Lancaster, and Charlotte (Clair) Bupp of Meridian; and many nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by seven infant grandchildren; and six siblings, Gerald Bieber, Clair Bieber, William Bieber, Erma Plesniak, Olive Farinelli and Janet Bintrim.
