Massena: Anne V. Robillard, 70, of Massena, passed away on Thursday, October 16, 2025 at Canton-Potsdam Hospital.
Anne was born on March 5, 1955 in Massena, the daughter of the late Lawrence and Frances (Bodah) Robillard. She graduated from Massena High School in 1973 and attended Canton ATC for Veterinary Science.
Anne and her sister Joan enlisted in the United States Army and proudly served as a Medical Technician for three years, serving in Germany and San Antonio, Texas. Upon her discharge, she worked as a Vet Tech for various veterinarians around San Antonio.
In the mid 1980's, with the help of her parents, Anne bought a mobile dog grooming van and for 30 years traveled around San Antonio and New York, naming her business Anne's Mobile Grooming. Throughout her career she rescued many dogs and cats.
Anne was a very proud and patriotic American, voting for Donald Trump three times. Anne retired from dog grooming in 2020 and moved back to Northern New York to live with her brother Jim.
Anne is survived by her two brothers, James Robillard of Georgia and Mark Robillard of Massena; two sisters, Joan Robillard of Georgia and Catherine (Hugh) DuBray of Massena as well as many nieces and nephews.
