Nancy Jane Robbins, age 80 of Oak Ridge, NJ, died peacefully on Tuesday, July 8, 2014. Her family stood lovingly by her side at the time of her passing.
Born in New Haven, CT, Nancy was a resident of Oak Ridge for the past twenty-two years.
She and her husband, George, met when she was just eight years old and he was twelve. George became best friends with her brother, Bill. Eventually, George asked Nancy to go to the movies on their first date. They married on August 16,1952 at St. Mary's Church in Branford, CT. They spent the next 61 years side by side loving life together.
Nancy's love of being outdoors caring for her beautiful flower gardens was matched by her love of being indoors, nurturing her prize-winning house plants. She took great pride in her role as a faithful wife and loving mother to her five children. Nancy’s family loved her cooking and baking and some of their favorite recipes included her Mom’s (Da's) Goulash and Pound Cake, Chicken Tetrazzini, and Cranberry Bread. These recipes, along with many others, are still carried on by her children and grandchildren. Nancy's passion for holidays and carrying on of family traditions meant for festive and fun times for anyone who had the pleasure of celebrating these days with her and George at the Robbins household. Nancy was known to be a beach girl. She and George traveled together often, making lifetime memories with their children at many islands and beaches.
She will be fondly remembered for her loving dedication to her family and friends, and for being a great listener and mentor to many. Her love and grace has touched many hearts.
Surviving are Nancy’s beloved husband of 61 years, George; her five dear children: Pamela and husband Michael Meeker of Riverdale, Deborah and husband Robert Westhouse of Amelia Island, FL, Jan Augustine of Wauconda, IL, Thomas and wife Michele Robbins of Lake Zurich, IL, and William and wife Sally Robbins of Wanaque; twelve cherished grandchildren and six adored great-grandchildren; and her sister Jane and husband Noland Murphy of Branford, CT. Nancy was predeceased by her dear son George Michael and her brother William Mischler.
