Roberts

Michele B. “Chele” Roberts, 62, of Saxonburg, passed away Sunday, July 5, 2026, in the brief, but wonderful, care of UPMC Family Hospice.

Born Nov. 26, 1963, in Grove City, she was the daughter of William N. Birckbichler and Juanita Grubb Birckbichler.

Chele dedicated her life to the service of others as a registered nurse. Her career was defined by her deep empathy and unwavering commitment to her patients.

Beyond her professional life, she lived with the playful curiosity of a truly free spirit. She followed her own path, finding joy in all things great and small. Her greatest sanctuary was her garden, as she had an extraordinary gift for bringing things to life, her beautiful vibrant flower gardens were a reflection of her inner warmth and creativity. Chele will be greatly missed and fondly remembered.

Surviving are two daughters, Hannah (Richard) Osborne, of Butler, and Jayne Roberts, of Butler; two sisters, Lynda (Howard) West, of Washington, Pa., and Debbie (Jack) Schricker, of Bradford Woods; her brother, Robert Birckbichler, of Butler; her grandchildren, Isabella, Trey, Ciarra and Xavier Osborne; and numerous nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by parents; her husband, Edward S. Roberts; and one brother, William C. Birckbichler
