Dorothy J. "Dottie" (Verra) Robicheau

Robicheau, Dorothy “Dottie” (Verra), of Norwood, MA and Naples, FL, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her children, on August 3, 2023 following a sudden illness. She was 83 years old.

Dorothy was the daughter of the late Tefta (Mina) and Harila Verra. Raised in Dorchester, she graduated from Dorchester High School, and married her high school sweetheart Joseph A. Robicheau, Jr. She was a dedicated wife to Joe for 54 years, until his passing in 2021. Dorothy worked at The Boston Edison until the birth of her first child. She was a loving and caring mother to her children Joseph A. Robicheau, III, and Chrisanne and her husband Mark Craven of Sherborn, MA.

Dorothy was overjoyed by the arrival of her only grandchild, Marina. She also dearly cherished her family’s pets and was known for hopelessly spoiling them. Dottie delighted in hosting many large gatherings, and cooking special meals for her family and friends. Over the years she fostered an interest in unique arts and crafts projects, including painting, basket weaving, and rug hooking. Well known for being a card shark, one of her most endearing qualities was to pretend it was an accident when she won.

Dot was a loyal friend to many, and was always available for a phone call or visit.

Dorothy was predeceased by her husband Joseph and her loving sister Xanthia Bouley (Dave) of Braintree. Dorothy’s family would like to extend gratitude and sincere thanks to Beverly Bennett, Eileen Tisdale, Anne Belliveau, and many other cousins, family members, and friends, for providing emotional support and comfort in Dorothy’s final days. Services will be private.
