It would be wrong to say that Robbie lost her battle because she never stopped fighting. No matter how sick she was, she was always determined. When anyone else would have broken, Robbie stayed strong, but that’s how she lived her life never giving up or quitting. Through her we know what resilience and perseverance truly look like. There was no quit in Robbie. Just because she isn’t here doesn’t mean she lost her fight.
Robbie is survived by her son William Geary Green of Phoenix, AZ; Her niece who she raised, Annis McGuire(Roy) of Phoenix, AZ; 5 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her husband William Simpie Green in 1986, father of Annis and Geary.
Robbie was born on November 11th 1929 in Calico Rock, AR. To Arval and Alma Carrico. After moving to Phoenix in 1949 she was a homemaker and took care of her husband and raised 3 children. After the death of her husband she worked various part-time jobs. Her final job lasting 18 years was as a Greeter for Walmart.
Robbie was accomplished at sewing, crafting and gardening. She was a generous, kind hearted, dedicated individual who loved to shop estate sales and was ready to go at a moment’s notice. She was an active and dedicated member of North Phoenix Baptist Church in Phoenix, AZ.
