Beverly M. Robshaw Obituary

Beverly (Perkins) Robshaw (Orland) It is with heavy hearts that Beverly Robshaw passed on July 14 at the Maine Veteran’s Home in Bangor. She was born September 21, 1924 in Boston, Massachusetts to Theodore and Cecil Perkins. Graduating from Clark High School in Penobscot, she continued her education at Cambridge Mt. Auburn School of Nursing, graduating in 1947. She began her nursing career at Castine Hospital, then was employed for several years as the nurse in the Medical Department at the Paper Mill in Bucksport, retiring in 1983. She was predeceased by her parents and husband, Ralph Robshaw, three brothers and three sisters. She is survived by three daughters, Jean Goss and Jerry, Sally Hauber, and Judy Findlay and Glenn. Mamie leaves behind many special memories with her 7 Grandchildren and 12 Great Grandchildren, as well as several special nieces and nephews. Family was her top priority and she enjoyed so many special events at her home on Toddy Pond. She loved having her morning coffee and crossword puzzle sitting on her farmer’s porch overlooking the family camp and the calm waters. The more family at camp the better with the golf cart making several trips a day from the house. She made many cherished crocheted or knitted afghans for family as well as many of her handcrafted quilts. Her oil paintings are hung in our homes with pride and joy. She was a member of the Elm Street Congregational Church in Bucksport, serving on several committees, including the annual church fair. Though she was unable to attend services over the past several years, she maintained a connection with the ministry and its members. The family wishes to express their sincere thanks to the staff at Beacon Hospice as well as all the staff at the Maine Veteran’s Home for providing her with a loving “home” for the past 6 months. Her caregivers loved her as much as we all did, but she had a special bond and love for Mishelle Keene who was with her for almost a year with Beacon Hospice and then at the Veteran’s Home. Graveside services will be held on Monday at 1:00 pm at Silver Lake Cemetery in Bucksport, Maine. In her memory, donations may be made to the Maine Veteran’s Home, Bangor Activity Funding, 44 Hogan Road, Bangor, Maine 04401. Arrangements are under the care of Mitchell-Tweedie Funeral Home and Cremation Services Bucksport. (mitchelltweedie-young.com)
