Robin was born June 28th, 1962, in Louisville, KY. She graduated from Holy Rosary Academy in 1980 where she enjoyed her time as a cheerleader.

They welcomed daughter Amanda in 1991 and son Nic in 1994.  She cherished being a mother and attended every field trip, sports game, and performance.

Robin was a long-time employee of JCPenney department store before transitioning to Oxmoor Auto Group in 2010 and Louisville BMW in 2019.  She was known to many of her coworkers as their ‘work mom’.

Robin was diagnosed with glioblastoma in January 2021. Despite the negative outlook, she remained positive and hopeful. During this time, she visited Disney World, became ‘Meemaw’ to her first grandchild, and spent time with her puppies.

Funeral services will be held on Friday, February 2nd at 7pm at Schoppenhorst, Underwood & Brooks Funeral Home in Hillview, KY.  Friends and loved ones may pay their respects Friday before the service from 1pm – 7pm.
