Shirley “Dib Dib” Roache, of Warminster, PA passed peacefully on Friday, December 11, 2015, at the Artman Lutheran Home.  She was 76.

She was the beloved wife of 50 years to the late Robert F. Roache.

Born in Hazelton, PA, she was the daughter of the late John and Hazel Hinz Stevenson and sister of the late John Stevenson.

Shirley grew up in Hazelton and moved to Philadelphia when she was 13 and it was then that her grandmother introduced her to her future husband, Robert.  They married in 1959 and remained in Philadelphia until 1967, when the family moved to Warminster and into St. Robert Bellarmine parish.  She was a die hard Phillies fan and loved going to see them play, especially with her daughter and granddaughter.  The love and support that she gave to her family will always be cherished.

She is survived by her daughter Vicki Lelli and her husband Robert of Chalfont, her son Robert Roache and his wife Giselle of Hatboro, her sister Alice Shook of Tunkhannock, PA, a brother in law Jack Roache of Langhorne, and a sister in law Frances Sauder of Abington.  She is also survived by her loving and devoted granddaughter Jessica, who will always remember her as “Dib Dib”.
