Roberta L. ‘Candy’ Hutchinson – White Oak, formerly of McKeesport

WHITE OAK, FORMERLY OF MCKEESPORT Roberta L. “Candy” Hutchinson, 82, of White Oak, formerly of McKeesport, died Jan. 1, 2025, at UPMC McKeesport Hospital. Born May 4, 1942, in Dayton, Ohio, she was the daughter of the late Robert and Barbara Velardo Pierce. Roberta dedicated many years of her life to serving others as a nursing assistant at the VA Hospital, where her compassion and dedication touched the lives of countless veterans and families. She found joy in the simple pleasures of life, whether it was engaging in spirited games of bingo or relishing the great outdoors during camping trips with her children. Her favorite trips were often spent exploring the beauty of Lake Erie and admiring the iconic lighthouse at Port Clinton, Ohio, creating cherished memories that her family will hold dear. Roberta’s faith was an integral part of her existence; she made it a daily ritual to read her Bible, drawing strength and inspiration from its teachings. Her unwavering belief nourished her spirit and offered solace to those around her. Roberta is survived by her children, Debra (Dave) Savani and Neil (Sonya) Hutchinson; grandchildren, Brandon Savani, Amber (Chris) Moxley, Daniel (Alyssa) Trunzo, Logan Hutchinson, and Landon Hutchinson; great-grandchildren, Gabriella Grace Trunzo, Christopher “CJ” Moxley Jr. and Corbin Moxley; and siblings, Gloria Traud, Gus Rehnstrom and Sue Zeno. In addition to her parents, she was also preceded in death by a son, Charles “Chuck” Hutchinson. Arrangements were entrusted to WILLIG FUNERAL HOME & CREMATORY.
