Robert Westbury Obituary

Robert F. Westbury, born on November 9, 1926, in Portland, Maine, passed away peacefully on November 27, 2025, in Hampton, Virginia, at the age of 99.

Robert was a dedicated and hardworking individual who spent his career as an account manager at Riverside Healthcare. His commitment to his work and his community was evident throughout his life.

A proud Navy veteran, Robert served his country with honor during World War II. His service was a testament to his character and dedication to the values he held dear.

Robert was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Shirley Elmquist Westbury, his father, William Westbury, Sr., and his mother, Ela Westbury. He leaves behind a loving family who will cherish his memory.

In accordance with his wishes, there will be no services. Robert's family and friends will remember him as a man of integrity and strength, whose legacy will endure in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
