Robin was born in Houston on the 7h of July 1953, to Lois Laird Overton and Robert Carter Overton, Jr.
Robin is preceded in death by her husband, Samuel Stephen Sengelmann, III.

Robin was loved by many family and friends and loved them all back deeply. She was sweet, kind, and generous. She never met a stranger without a smile and made friends everywhere she went. She was a strong, intelligent and faithful woman, devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. Most of her life was spent in education; she loved to teach and help others. She also loved to travel, in particular to Mexico, Grand Cayman and Galveston. She was a super nanny granny to her grandchildren and they meant the world to her. She will be deeply missed. Robin is at home with the Lord, fully restored.
Friends and family are cordially invited to gather and share remembrances from two o'clock until five o'clock in the afternoon on Sunday, the 28th of March, in the grand foyer of Geo. H. Lewis & Sons, 1010 Bering Drive in Houston.
At a later date in April, the family will gather for a private burial service at the Family Ranch.
