She was born on April 13th, 1934. She and her husband William Roberts moved to Ambridge in 1957, a year after the birth of their daughter, Rachelle. Once in Ambridge, she stayed living a humble and comfortable life in a home where she always welcomed friends and family. She and her family became members of St. Veronica’s Parish where she volunteered in the lunch kitchen of the school.

She was also preceded in death by her sisters, Pauline Kashmer, and her husband, George, and Margaret Szost and her husband, Bob, her brothers, Albert Pello and her wife, Josephine, and Steve Pello and his wife, Mary. Her siblings provided her many nieces and nephews that she loved dearly.
Her children, Rachelle Roberts, and partner, Dave Lewandowski, and Bill Roberts, and his wife, Carolyn reside in the Ambridge area. Her grandsons,Sean Roberts and his wife, Nicole of Dayton, Ohio, Patrick Roberts of Lawerenceburg, Kentucky and John Adams and his wife, Brandee of Baden were her joy and consumed much of her time as she prayed for their well-being and safety. Her recent great granddaughter, Millie, was a spark of joy in her heart.
Catherine was a wonderful cook and baker, and she brought joy to those around her as she would grind through those tasks that brought joy and laughter to those around her. Her friendship will certainly be missed.
