Robbie passed on April 4, 2022. Her husband and two step children were at her bedside. Robbie was a long time resident of Sun Lakes moving there in 1998. Robbie was very outgoing, she could walk up to anyone and strike up a conversation. Many leading to long friendships. She loved shopping, making friends with many storeworkers. They were happy to see her, many times with a cup of coffee for them. She was just so easy to talk to.

Robbie from an early age with the teaching from her me'me, learned and loved knitting and crochet. This started her on a path of doing all types of crafts. She made thousands of blankets, hats, shawls, baby clothes (if it could be knitted she made it). She would make shawls for the "Little Pink Houses of Hope" breast cancer patients and loved it.

Robbie loved music and dance, she belonged to dance clubs in Sun Lakes, and she could do a mean East coast swing. She was an avid reader her entire life. She loved to cook, even on vacation she would find a way to make a meal or two. Robbie spent a lot of time with Karaoke friends at clubs and hosting house parties, with all her talents she did not sing. Oh except "These boots are made for walking" she would have an older friend that she would perform it with and he loved it. She enjoyed all the singers, especially her husband.

Robbie had no biological children, but had a great relationship with her stepchildren and one very special person she called her niece child that was Tammy. Tammy in turn would always call her auntie mom. They had a wonderful relationship just like mother and daughter on the phone for

hours everyday.

Robbie is survived by her husband Joseph Ferrazza, stepchildren Michael, David and Alan, grandson Cuyler, sisters Joanne, Lynn, Dawn and Ginger Lee, and niece child Tammy.
