She is the beloved wife of 54 years to Richard M. McBain, Sr. Cherished mother of Karen M. Arneil & husband Scott J. of Melrose, Kelley A. Settipane of Revere, Michelle E. Robinson & husband James of Methuen & Richard M. McBain, Jr. & wife Colleen D. of North Reading. Cherished grandmother of James F. & Ryan J. Arneil, both of Melrose, Alisha C. & Martino R. Settipane, both of Revere, Zachary J. Robinson of Methuen, Matthew R., Brendan J. & Erin M. McBain, all of North Reading. Dear sister of the late Frederick Sharpe. Also lovingly survived by her sister in law, Kathleen “Kathy” (Skiffington) Sharpe of Revere & several nieces and nephews.
We are sending our deepest sympathy to Richard and their family. We will miss our conversations at the 4PM Mass and miss seeing you. Our little group was deeply sadden when we heard the news. Frank and I were up to Maine. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Sincerely Kathy and Frank Nocera
