Robin was hilarious and loved to laugh – a lot! Robin was the life of the party! She loved enjoying life, family bonfires, art, sunsets on the beach, family and friends. Her smile and laughter were contagious. She was a great listener, had a wonderful sense of humor and brought joy and compassion to everyone who knew her. Robin was optimistic, adventurous, loved to travel and try new experiences. She took classes in surfing, aerial yoga, cooking, flying, etc. and was even a contestant on “The Price Is Right.” She had a big heart and throughout her life she helped others. She taught yoga and cooking classes and, as a final act of service, she donated her body to science.
