Born in Lewiston, NY, on June 16, 1972, Robert was a devoted son to the late Dr. Joseph Vincent Marra and the late Beverly Anne (Smith) Marra. Spending much of his life in the Niagara Falls area, Robert graduated from Saint Joseph's Collegiate Institute. He obtained a Bachelor of Science degree from Niagara University and a Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Buffalo. Robert moved to Huntersville, NC in 2011 to be close to his dearest friends, Dr. Catherine Reimels and Dr. Michael Reimels, where he served as Office Manager of their Dental Practice(s). Robert was a beloved son, brother, nephew, uncle and friend. He was a devout Catholic and a wonderful role model for his 21 nephews and nieces. He exuded kindness, generosity and integrity. He had an amazing sense of humor. He dedicated much of his adult life to caring for others; most notably caring for his parents at the end of their lives. He was a favorite uncle, who often dropped everything to play with his nephews and nieces and make them gigantic ice cream cones. A great athlete, at just ten years of age, he was the calm, cool and collected catcher for his sister, JoAnne Marra-Moll, when she pitched her perfect game in the Whirlpool Little League in 1981. He later became a wonderful golfer; a sport he enjoyed playing with his brothers and his dear uncle, Dr. Orlando A. Marra, throughout his life. One of Robert's passions was to cook for his friends and family. He spent many, many years at his father's side mastering family recipes that have been passed down for generations. To his mother's chagrin, Robert shared his father's love of horse racing. He could read a racing form better than anyone, and he was the family's go-to source for tips on any race, but especially the Kentucky Derby. His specialty at the track was "exotic betting." Robert also leaves behind his longtime companion, Diana Rose Sidey and her daughter Anelle Sidey. In addition to his uncle, Orlando Albert Marra, D.D.S. of Niagara Falls, NY and his aunts, Anna Mae Rotella and Maria Crea-Smith, M.D. both of Lewiston, NY, Robert is survived by his nine siblings; Orlando A. (Marnie) Marra, Esq. of Dunwoody, GA; Catherine E. (Duncan Grant, MD) Marra, Esq. of Charleston, SC; Edward L. (Deanna) Marra, D.M.D. of Scottsdale, AZ; Anne (Michael) Orenstein, Esq. of Hollywood, FL; Joseph V. (Susan) Marra of Lewiston, NY; Judith M. Marra of New York City, NY; Michael J. (Laura) Marra of Lewiston, NY; Maria T. (Erik) Jobson of Orchard Park, NY; and JoAnne M. (Jeffrey) Moll, M.D. of Marble, PA; 21 nephews and nieces and countless cousins. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, February 26, 2022, at 2 PM at JAMES FUNERAL HOME CHAPEL, Huntersville, NC. There will be a mass held in celebration of Robert's life on June 18th at Niagara University. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to The ALS Association.
