Robert B. Haley

Robert Bruce “Bobby” Haley, 68, of Reading, went into the arms of God peacefully in the critical care unit at Penn State Health-St. Joseph Hospital, where he received compassionate care. Born in Reading Bobby was the son of the late E. Donald and Helen M. (Williams) Haley. He was one of many cousins from his mother’s family. Bobby was a wonderful, loving soul and friendly to everyone. He was grateful to Aunt Sara for caring for him for many years. Also, Rittenhouse Village offered him excellent assisted living care. Bobby was an employee of Pro Berco for most of his life. He loved to work there and enjoyed the activities and friendships offered to all with special needs. His family thanks Pro Berco for his care in their living facility. Bobby had many interests. He enjoyed attending or watching the Phillies games and was a Pittsburgh Steelers fan and enjoyed bowling, swimming, music and dancing. He collected caps of the teams and many, many more. Bobby loved to decorate for the holidays and made many of the decorations. Coloring pictures was a big part of his life. He was a positive person with a smile and was willing to help anyone and loved to clean anywhere. Bobby received an award for welcoming customers at McDonald’s on Lancaster Ave. where he was employed. In his later life he would tell everyone about his “girlfriends” and wanted to get married. Attending Church and his love for God was very important to Bobby. His refreshing innocence with a shy sense of humor and his smile will be missed by everyone.

Anna M. Wrobel

Anna Marie (Ann) Wrobel, 85, of Fleetwood, PA passed away peacefully on the morning of May 29, 2026. She was the loving wife of C. Fred Wrobel, with whom she shared 65 years of marriage. Born in Pottsville, PA, Ann was the daughter of the late William and Anna (Schmidt) Malone.

Ann was a 1959 graduate of Reading Central Catholic High School. She thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of Central with a special fondness for the study of language and culture in her Spanish classes. Ann developed lifelong friendships with several classmates including two who would ask that she be godmother for their children. During Ann’s senior year, she was hired by the Singer Equipment Company of Reading, PA where she flourished as an executive administrative assistant supporting the efforts of company leadership for five years.

Like many of the women of her era, Ann would leave the corporate world, marry, and start a family. As an only child, she was adamant that her children would have siblings and her promise was fulfilled when her son, Kerry, was born, followed three years later by her second son, Kent. Ann embraced the very essence of motherhood. She treasured the day-to-day activities and responsibilities of being Mom, including preparing her family’s favorite meals, driving her sons and their friends to football scrimmages and games, watching their Little League baseball games (and sometimes giving an earful to an unsuspecting umpire), baking cupcakes for the East Reading Colts snack stand, and volunteering at St. Catharine of Siena School.

After her sons graduated from Central Catholic, Ann sought a new role for herself with the awareness that her greatest joy was found when serving others. Ann joined Threshold Rehabilitation Services in 1990 as a program supervisor. For 20 years, she patiently worked with men and women with physical and intellectual disabilities, providing direction and guidance through hands-on vocational training. Ann taught the skills and built the confidence her clients would need to transition to jobs and opportunities in the community. She was loved and respected by her clients, and dedicated herself to their success, celebrating every job placement.

Ann will forever be remembered for her love of cats, having a sweet tooth, being a faithful Phillies fan, sending cards to her family and friends on their special days, and watching her neighbors’ children, Joshua and Grace McDermott, grow. Ann’s family extends our deepest gratitude to the staff of Grand View Manor for their compassionate care of Ann.

Ann is survived by her loving husband, Fred; sons Kerry and his wife Anastasia, and Kent and his fiancé, Jennifer Bossler; grandchildren Sean Wrobel and his wife Danielle, Maggie Wrobel, Jordan Bossler, and Madison Velazquez and her husband Anthony; and great grandchildren Lucas Lewandowski and Avery Velazquez.

Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Holy Guardian Angels Roman Catholic Church, 3121 Kutztown Road, Reading, PA, Thursday, June 4, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. Reverend Robert Rienzo, Celebrant. Interment will follow at Gethsemane Cemetery. The family will receive relatives and friends from 8:30 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. at Church

Memorial contributions may be made to Threshold Rehabilitation Services 1000 Lancaster Ave. Reading, PA 19607 or Humane Pennsylvania (an animal welfare center) 1729 North 11th Street Reading, PA 19604 in memory of Mrs. Anna M. Wrobel. Bean Funeral Home 6 Fairlane Road, Exeter Township is in charge of arrangements and online condolences may be made at www.beanfuneralhomes.com
