Roberta Ann Shirey

Roberta Ann Shirey, age 67, of Midland, formerly of Allison Park, passed away peacefully at home with her devoted family by her side on Wednesday, April 17, 2024. She was born March 1st, 1957 in Pittsburgh to the late Robert and Alice Fichter. Roberta graduated from North Allegheny High School and earned her BS and MBA from Duquesne University. She became a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and worked as an accountant for the Midland Borough, PA Cyber, RODIS, and lastly Buckeye Online School for Success (BOSS), where she worked from its inception to her retirement.

Roberta was a faithful parishioner at Saint Blaise Roman Catholic Parish where she served for many years as a Eucharistic Minister. She was a loyal member of the Midland Pool where she and her close friends were affectionately known as “the Pool Ladies”. She had deep friendships with “the Girls” – six wonderful classmates whose friendship stood the test of time. When the sun was out, Roberta was happy. She loved taking trips to any beach and would be the first one to arrive at the beach, and the last one to leave. Jamboree in the Hills was a special place for her and her dear Jambo buddies, who would enjoy four days of country music, dancing, and sunshine. Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Roberta was an avid Pittsburgh sports fan.

Roberta will be deeply missed by her husband, Paul; son, David [Cristina] Bahm; daughters, Rachel [Mike] Thompson, Rebecca Shirey, and Rachel Shirey; her grandsons, Jacob and Micah Bahm; her sister Diane [Ken] Harrold; and her niece Danetta and nephew Kenny Lee.

Friends will be received in the Noll-Schwerha Funeral Home, 600 Beaver Avenue, Midland PA 15059, Wednesday, April 24th, 2024 from 2-4 pm and 6-8 pm. A Mass of Christian Burial will be conducted at St. Blaise Roman Catholic Church, 772 Ohio Avenue, Midland PA 15059, Thursday, April 25th at 10:30 am.

The family wishes to thank her oncologist Dr. Krivak and his dedicated team for all of their help and support over the last four years, as well as the loving AHN Hospice staff.
