Those who knew Robin remember a person with the biggest heart — someone who found joy in caring for others and creating spaces filled with laughter, comfort, and good food. Known for their home-cooked meals and open door, Robin made everyone feel welcome, whether through a simple conversation or a shared plate at the table.
