Robin had a great personality and sense of humor. She was able to light up any room she walked into and was always the life of the party. In her leisure time, Robin enjoyed reading, knitting, spending time at the Warren Beach, and enjoyed the annual Bristol Fourth of July Parade. She loved to go shopping and was always able to find great deals at shops and yard sales. Most of all, Robin loved to be in the company of her family and her beloved dog, Clyde.

Robin is survived by her daughter, Karie Matthews; her brothers, Alfred “Butch” Ferreira Jr. and his wife Betty and Thomas “TJ” Ferreira and his wife Lynda, all of Warren, RI; her sister, Candace “Candy” DeGrenier and her husband Kevin of Warren, RI; as well as her two grandchildren; Kaylee and Quentin Nunes and her great grandchild, Wyatt. She also leaves her nieces and nephews whom she adored; Michaela, Courtney, Tommy, Samantha Ferreira and Kayne and Casey DeGrenier. In addition, she leaves her best friend of many years, Phyllis DeSalvo.

Services are with Smith Funeral & Memorial Services, 8 Schoolhouse Rd. Warren, RI 02885, where the family will receive relatives and guests for Visitation on Saturday, September 27, 2025 from 10-11AM followed by a Funeral Service at 11AM. A Private Burial will be held at a later date.

    As girls, Robin and I would see each other on Sundays, after mass at Nana's. The McKales and the Ferreiras visited in the kitchen while Robin and I danced in another room. She and I were 3 years apart in age and rock n' roll was just being heard on the radio. We would jitterbug, laugh and had such fun being girls. It was an innocent time back then. May she rest in peace, Micky

    I'm so sorry to hear about Aunt Robin's lost. She was always so kind and sweet. When my dad and I use to visit his cousins she was always the one person who could put a smile on my face and make me feel comfortable as did Auntie Candy. May she rest in peace with her cousins and dear mother and father. Praying for everyone in the family. God bless 🙏
