Robin was born in Landover, Maryland and at an early age moved to West Palm Beach, Florida. She was a graduate of Twin Lakes High School. Throughout her lifetime Robin wore many hats. She excelled as a program manager for a national educational training company. Robin then became a devoted youth leader and founder of Color Purple Ministries in Brunswick, Georgia.

Over the years Robin began missionary work both locally and internationally. These missions included summer feeding programs, sporting programs for area youth, along with providing books, clothing, and fresh water to African Villages. Her love for giving never ceased and in the end she gave the ultimate gift of life by donating organs so others may live. 

She will be missed by many that knew and loved her. May her legacy live on through the memories that she made with each and everyone.
