Roberta Katherine McLane

Roberta Katherine (Gieb) McLane
Roberta Katherine (Gieb) McLane of Sapulpa, Oklahoma was born on October 4, 1946, in Gainesville, Texas to Robert and Regina (Nolan) Gieb. Roberta was raised in Gainesville and graduated from Gainesville High School in 1965. After graduating, she attended Cooke County College (NCTC) where she earned an Associated Degree. While earning her degree, she started working at the Gainesville High School and remained there until 1974 when she married the love of her life, William Joseph "Bill" McLane. Bill and Roberta made Sapulpa their home where they spent nearly 51 years together in wedded bliss.
After moving to Sapulpa, Roberta had several jobs over the years, but she was most proud of her time as the secretary/bookkeeper at her church, Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Sapulpa. She spent 6 years working for the church before retiring in 2008.
Roberta was a loving daughter, sister, wife, aunt, and godmother. She was full of life and treated every day as if it was an adventure. From taking random, spur of the moment trips to pulling practical jokes on unsuspecting family members, Roberta lived a beyond blessed life. She had a smile and a twinkle in her eyes that would light up every room she entered. Her playful nature was her secret weapon that she used to bring a smile to the faces of everyone she met. Roberta was very grounded in her faith and her belief in our Savior, Jesus Christ and yet at the same time was as onery as she needed to be to enjoy life to it's fullest. After the love of her life passed away in 2025, Roberta continued their legacy of care for others.
Roberta went to be with the Lord on August 17, 2026. She was met, with love, by those who preceded her in death: her parents, Robert and Regina Gieb, her husband and love of her life, Billy Joe McLane, her uncle Robert "Bobby" Nolan, her niece Katie McLane, and numerous other family members.
Roberta will be deeply missed by everyone, whose lives she touched. She is survived by her sisters - Mary Baxter and Clara McLane; nephews - Larry Baxter, Paul McLane (KT Froman), and Andy McLane (Tonya McLane); nieces - Helen Dietz, Madelyn Rybczyk (Mark Rybczyk), and Vivian Baxter; as well as numerous other nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews and great-great nieces and nephews.
The family welcomes you to join them on Monday, August 24, 2026, for a rosary prayer service at 6pm at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Sapulpa. The funeral mass will take place at 11am on Tuesday, August 25, 2026, at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Sapulpa.
