In Sharon, within Sharon Memorial Park, which has this marker for Annie Robbins, who lived 101 years.

The marker is located in one of the grass lawn parts of the cemetery. The general area is Mount Ararat. It may be helpful to download a map from the cemetery web site, or go to the administration office/welcome center and get directions/a map.

The marker is a flat bronze plaque level with the ground, which is the same for all makers in this cemetery. The plaque has some general designs on the edge, then the family name, "Robbins," in large letters. The smaller plaque to the left has the following on it:

"Beloved wife, mummy, grandmother, our spirit & our song, you are the greatest forever
