As the waves of Lake Superior crashed upon the sand outside her window, and her husband John sat quietly next to her, Jacqueline Marie LaVallee, lovingly known as “Robin,” peacefully passed away at dawn Sunday, September 14, 2025. Robin was born August 25, 1946, at home in St. Ignace, to Elliott Grondin and Ruby Hopkins Grondin. Tragedy struck Robin and Sonda in 1980 with the loss of Jimmy and Todd in a car accident when Todd was just 14 years old. Robin continued on with the love and support of friends and family, especially her good friend, Betty Sorrels. Robin and John enjoyed boating on the Great Lakes, salmon fishing in Fairport and would bring along anyone willing to go.
