Fay Marie Robbie, 92
Fay Marie (Hurley) Robbie, of Hull, died on June 23. She was 92.
Fay was born in Cohasset in 1927 to Arthur L. (“Louie”) and Leta Rose (Dyment). She was predeceased by her husband, Donald J. Robbie, and her son, Christopher Litchfield Arnold. 
Fay is survived by her three loving children: Gregory Arnold and his wife, Connie, of Marshfield; Prescott and his wife, Betty, of Concord; stepson James Robbie and wife, Maureen, of Swansea;  and two sisters, Brenda (Hurley) Remes, of Carver, and Diana (Hurley) Freda, of Kingston. 
“Fay-Fay,” as her adoring grandchildren called her, also leaves eight grandchildren; Chris, Craig, Evan, Jake, Garrett, Zach, Eric, and Adrienne, in addition to five great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. 
Fay grew up in Hull and was a fixture in town as a kindergarten and elementary school teacher and lifelong resident. She was a graduate of Hingham High School, class of 1944 (before Hull had its own high school), and Lesley College, class of 1949. She was an active member of the Hull Garden Club, a prodigious knitter of Irish knit sweaters and warm baby clothes, as well as an organizer of family parties for any and all occasions. She loved to travel, cook, and host neighborhood gatherings. 
Fay was the granddaughter of John J. Hurley, of Revere Beach and Nantasket, an amusements entrepreneur of the early 20th century and creator of the Monkey Speedway, Hurley’s Hurdlers – a renowned carousel of the day, and many other popular amusements of the time. 
A celebration of life will be held at a later date and time to be announced. Please check Keohane Funeral Home in Hingham periodically for updates and service announcements.
