LEWISTON – Betty Ann Robbins, 69, of Lewiston, passed away Thursday, Oct. 2, at a local hospital.

She was born Feb. 23, 1939, in Livermore Falls, the daughter of Henry and Grace (Stimans) Judd.

Betty Ann worked as a registered nurse for 22 years. In 1988, she founded the No. 1 Friendship Club of Maine. Betty Ann devoted seven years to the community as a drug and alcohol counselor. She was a life member of the Raymond J. Lavigne Post No. 9459 in Lisbon and a 15-year member of the Lakes Region Eagles. She was also a member of the American Legion Post No. 158 Ladies Auxiliary and a member for several years of the Maine Vietnam Veterans Vigil Committee.

Betty Ann was a selfless woman who gave freely to anyone in need. It was common to stop by and visit with her and leave with a bag of groceries. Everyone called her Mom or Nana and she treated them all with the same love and care as her own children and grandchildren. It seemed as if she was always cooking for a benefit dinner as it was her way to provide for those less fortunate.
