Fay Marie (Hurley) Robbie

Fay Marie (Hurley) Robbie, 92, of Hull Massachusetts passed away peacefully on Tuesday, June 23, 2020. Fay was born in Cohasset in 1927 to Arthur L. “Louie” and Leta Rose (Dyment). She is 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, step-son 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 call 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 life-long resident. Fay 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 20^th Century, and creator of the Monkey Speedway, Hurley’s Hurdlers – a renowned Carousel of the day, and many other popular amusements of the time.

Fay and her family were descendants of Thomas Rogers and Degory Priest, two of the original signatories of the Mayflower Compact in 1620.

A Celebration of life will be held at a later date, to be announced. Please check back periodically for updates and service announcements.
