ANNE ROBBINS

The family of Anne Robbins is saddened to announce her passing on January 1, 2026 in her 93rd year.

She was a loving Mom to Colin (Valentina) Robbins, Janice (Marty) Graf, Dawn (Bill) Crandall, David
(Marianne) Robbins, Susan Robbins, and Heather (Dan) Soares. Cherished Grandma to eleven
grandchildren and Great – Grandma to eight with a new baby on the way.

Anne will be missed by her brother, Robert McClellan, sisters-in-law Eileen McClellan, Donna and Sharon
Robbins and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

She adored our family pets, especially River, and they will miss the treats she always had in her pocket.
Anne was predeceased by her parents Dorothy and Burton McClellan, brother John McClellan, in laws
Ruby and Walter Robbins and brothers and sisters- in- law, Myrna and Lyle Angle, Ken and Murray
Robbins and Jerrie McClellan.

Mom was a kind and compassionate lady with a quiet strength and determination that could move
mountains. She worked at Robbins Feed & Fuels and Robbins Fuels for 40 years- no small feat for a
mother of six. Family life was very busy and we have fond memories of her driving the big station
wagon full of kids to all kinds of games, practices and lessons.

After retirement, she devoted herself to community involvement and volunteerism. She was recognized
in 2003 as Pelham Citizen of the Year for her service to Pelham Cares, Fenwick United Church, Fenwick
Lioness, Pelham Seniors and Harvest Meals program, to name a few. She also received the Helen Keller
and Lioness Humanitarian awards. While she humbly accepted these, it was a highlight and proud
moment in her life.

During her years at Lookout Ridge Retirement Home, Anne enjoyed the friendship of many and was well
known for the social events where she donned a quirky hat, “special” sweater or full out costume.
Decorating the third floor hallway for seasonal holidays brought her joy, including this past Christmas.
She was an avid Blue Jays fan and everyone knew it!

Many thanks to residents of the independent living building for checking in on Mom often. Special
thanks to the staff at Lookout Ridge, emergency room and 3 rd floor staff at Welland Hospital for their
care, and to Dr. Grant who always reassured her “what a good vintage that ’33 model was!”
In an ever changing world, Anne’s commitment to family, community and her Christian faith remained
steadfast and strong throughout her life’s journey.

According to her wishes, cremation has taken place.
A Funeral Service will be held at Fenwick United Church, 1050 Church St., Fenwick, on January 10, 2026
at 11:00 a.m. The service can be viewed by going to the website fenwickunitedchurch.ca and clicking on
the zoom link. After the service, all are welcome to join us for a light lunch downstairs.
In memory of Anne, donations to Fenwick United Church or Pelham Cares would be gratefully accepted.
