Amherst, Marjorie F. (Leddy) Robert died Saturday, July 4, 2015 at the age of 98. 

Born in Springfield, MA in December 1916 to the late Edward J. Leddy and Alena F. (Kibbe) Leddy, she grew up in Hampden, moving to Springfield and subsequently to Amherst, where she spent her married life and retirement. 

Her early career, before she became a wife and mother, included work in the Hampden Town Offices, in the President’s Office at American International College, and at Kellogg’s, a Springfield-based mail order company. In the 1960s and 1970s she held several management positions with Allen’s Alley, a group of gift shops in Western Massachusetts. 

In her retirement years she took considerable pleasure in painting, primarily landscapes and still life compositions. While doing so she enjoyed the company of a painting group sponsored by the Amherst Senior Center, and from within that group she made several close friendships. 

She was predeceased by her husband, Hubert E. Robert, and her brother, Edward K. Leddy, as well as her first husband, Paul Favreau. 

She leaves two sons, Hubert E. Robert of Amherst, Edward P. Robert of Lebanon NH; a daughter, Suzanne E. Robert of Andover; two nieces, Janet Fuller of Hayesville, NC and Judith Larson of Greenfield; and two nephews, Robert Tuthill and Richard Tuthill. 

There are no calling hours. Interment at the Old Cemetery, Chapin Road, Hampden will be Monday July 13, 2015 at 11:00 am. 

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial donations be made to the Dakin Humane Society, P.O. Box 6307, Springfield MA 01101-6307. Obituary and memorial register at www.douglassfuneral.com
