Marie A. (Grondin) McRobbie, 71, passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by her family on Thursday evening, July 14, 2016 after a courageous battle with cancer. She lived all her life in Lawrence where she was born and educated. Marie was a retired CNA from Mary Immaculate Nursing Home, where she took great pride in her work. She was the daughter of the late Laurence E. Grondin and the late Rita (Marchand) Grondin. She was the sister of the late Linda Grondin, the late Pauline Brown, and the late Eileen Grondin and is survived by her sister Joyce McRobbie of Derry, NH. She is also survived by her four loving daughters; Karen McRobbie and her partner David Williams of Kingston, NH, Kristen Davis and her husband Michael of Salem, NH., Kerry McRobbie and Karla McRobbie both of Lawrence, MA., and by her grandchildren; Mario Fici, Nicholas Fici, Matthew Birkmaier, Jonathan McRobbie, Joshua McRobbie and Amanda Williams, and great-grandchild Isabella Fici, as well as several nieces, nephews, and other family members. Marie was an amazing woman, mother, grandmother, and friend. She cherished quality time spent with her family, laughing and sharing stories. She also loved beating everyone at the game Yahtzee.

She will greatly be missed, but will forever hold a place in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
