Michele B. "Chele" Roberts, 62 of Saxonburg passed away on July 5, 2026 in the brief, but wonderful care of UPMC Family Hospice.
Born November 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..
