She attended local schools graduating in 1941 from Red Bluff Union High School where she served as Vice-President of her senior class under the leadership of George Growney. A fond memory for Sis was playing the saxophone in the high school marching band. After graduation she moved to Sacramento to attend Sacramento City Junior College. While in Sacramento she was employed at the headquarters of The Selective Service, but with the outbreak of WWII Sis returned to Gerber and began a career with Southern Pacific Railroad as the chief telephone operator. It was during this time she met her future husband Bill who was serving alongside her brother George Robbins, Jr. in the United States Marine Corps. Bill and Sis were married in January of 1946 at the Red Bluff Presbyterian Church. After the birth of their two children Sis returned to work in 1962 as a school secretary for Vista School where she remained for 12 years, eventually transitioning to Jackson Heights School as an Instructional Aide. After 5 years as Volunteer Aide Coordinator she retired.

She was involved in a variety of clubs and organizations, including Red Bluff Jr. Women and Beta Sigma Phi Sorority, also serving on the Board of Directors for The American Red Cross and Kelly Griggs Museum.
