Publish in a newspaper

Betty J. (Robidou) Manchester, age 79, passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, October 11, 2025, surrounded by her family. Born in Providence, she was the daughter of the late George E. and May (Hinz) Robidou.
She lived her life independently, fearlessly and with a bit of spunk. She enjoyed gardening, spending as much time as possible outdoors and as a proud member of the Cherokee nation, attending Pow Wows. She combined her love for travel with her love for motorcycling and was able to visit most of the United States from the back of a Harley Davidson. Above all, the moments spent with her children and grandchildren are when she was most happy.
Betty was the devoted mother of Richard Cady, Tammy Landaw, Betty Jane Catania, Robert Manchester, Kenneth Manchester (wife, Michelle) and the late Donna Sundvall; cherished 'Grams' of 26 grandchildren. She was the sister of Dennis Robidou, Charlie Robidou and the late George Robidou.
A Visitation will be held Sunday, October 19, 2025, from 4-7pm in the Thomas & Walter Quinn Funeral Home, 2435 Warwick Ave., Warwick. Her interment will be private.
