Roy Allen Roberts, 88, of Beaver, formerly of Pine Bank, Pennsylvania, passed away in his sleep at home with his family on September 17th, 2025. He was born on March 31st, 1937, a son of the late Blaine A. and Sarah (Ladosca) Roberts. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by eleven siblings: his brothers, Ewing, John S., Lawrence, James, Robert, Blaine, Jr., John F. and William Roberts and his sisters, Evelyn Houser, Ruth Ann Masters, and Sylvia Kent. He is survived by his son, Blaine Roberts, his granddaughter, Taylir Roberts and his grandson, Barron Roberts.
Roy was a loving father (Dad) and grandfather (PapPap) who enjoyed cars, croquet, biking, cutting grass, walks, dancing, fireworks, the Pirates, Steelers and working. The past few years, you may have seen him on his scooter or at the Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe, in the same booth, always at the same time. His biggest joy in life was spending time with family, especially his son and grandchildren. It was important to him not to miss all the little good stuff in life; birthdays, holidays, school sports, practices, amusement parks, sled rides to and from school or bus stop. He was a steady constant in his grandchildren’s life. As he would say, “Nothing is more important than time with family.” He cherished being there for friends and family, never missing a family reunion or wedding. He always enjoyed an event or party, celebration and having fun. “It’s not where you go on vacation, it’s who you are with that makes it fun.” Roy was the best host as any excuse to party was OK with him. He attended funerals, knowing he would see family that he hadn’t seen in a while. Roy’s greatest quality was his work ethic. No stop, no quit, no excuses, until the job was done! He was first to take on the biggest or worst job, anytime, anywhere.
Friends are invited to attend Roy’s final party on Sunday, September 21st from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m., in the Noll Funeral Home Inc.,, 333 Third Street, Beaver, who was in charge of his arrangements.
