Roberta “Birdie” Ruth Bickings, June 20, 1950 - June 23, 2022

Our beloved mother Birdie, 72, passed away peacefully on Thursday, June 23, 2022. She is with her Lord and Savior and reunited with her best friend, her husband, Craig W. Bickings, Sr., who preceded her in death 12 years prior.

Birdie was born on June 20, 1950 to Robert and Phyllis Rosenblad, the second oldest of 5 children. She was born and raised in Philadelphia. She completed 10 years of schooling, but that always bothered her and later in life she got her GED. Her parents and youngest brother Joseph preceded her in death; she has 3 remaining siblings, Robert Rosenblad (Del), Donald Rosenblad and Dorene Kirn (Dennis).

Birdie loved and loved well. She was selfless, had a huge heart and went out of her way to help others. She was happy driving down the road with the wind whipping through her hair as she chased her next adventure, but she was happiest surrounded by her children and grandchildren.

Birdie is survived by her 9 children: Craig (Bernice), Robin Lucas (Scott), Jason, Roy, Bryan, Debby Troutman, Kevin (Audrey), Robert (Kym), and Wesley. She was the proud grandmother of 26 grandchildren and 2 granddogs.

Funeral Service will be held at noon on Thursday, June 30, 2022 John F. Fluehr & Sons Funeral Home, 3301 Cottman Avenue, Philadelphia, where relatives and friends will be received 9:00 AM until the time of the service. Interment will be North Cedar Cemetery.
