Robin was born, raised, and educated in Worcester, and was a graduate of the David Hale Fanning Girls Trade School. Most recently, she was a Cafeteria Worker within the Worcester Public Schools.

Robin loved crocheting, needlepoint, cheering on the New England Patriots, and watching her beloved paranormal TV shows. She also loved Johnny Depp and Keanu Reeves, who were her favorite actors. Above all, her family was everything to her, and she especially loved spending time with her son and grandson. She was proud of her heritage, to be a part of the Nipmuc Tribe, and was a longtime member of All Saint’s Episcopal Church.

Robin had the biggest heart, and was kind to everyone around her.
