Haverhill: Roberta L. "Robie" (Murray) Colleto, 79, and a resident of the Bradford section of Haverhill, died peacefully at her home on Friday, February 21, 2025.

Born in Haverhill, the daughter of the late Walter F. "Sam" and Rita (Cullen) Murray, she attended Sacred Hearts School and graduated from Saint James High School with the Class of 1963. She went on to graduate from Pierce Secretarial School in Boston.
Robie was employed in the advertising department of the Haverhill Gazette for twenty-two years until 1988 and then spent the next twenty-three years working for New England Telephone and Verizon until her retirement in 2010.
An active member and supporter of Sacred Hearts Parish, she was devoted to her family and cherished her many friends. She enjoyed holding conversations with people whether they were long-time relatives and friends, or people that she met during the course of her daily life.  Robie was a member of Court Sacred Hearts of the Catholic Daughters of America and the Communication Workers of America. She enjoyed making oriental rugs and traveling through Italy and Greece and trips to Florida, Bermuda, Las Vegas and North Conway, NH.
