Robin HARVEY Obituary
Age 79, of West Carrollton, passed away Sunday, February 12, 2023, surrounded by her loved ones. Robin was born June 16, 1943, in Dayton, Ohio. She was the daughter of the late Wayne and Vera Wall. She graduated from Sinclair Nursing School in 1988 and continued on with her Nursing Career at Greene Memorial Hospital where she retired in 1996. Although retired, nursing was one of her passions and she never stopped helping the people she loved the most. Her other passion was cooking! She spent years volunteering for The Shriners making candy, and she even started her own restaurant with a friend. Her family knows her best for her home-cooked meals and truly believe that no one can fill those shoes. You could always catch Robin with a cookbook within a few feet from her. When she wasn't in the kitchen dicing or cooking she enjoyed working in her sewing room, sewing whatever needed to be done from costumes to quilts. More than that, she loved her husband, The Old Man. They celebrated their 59th wedding anniversary on February 7th. Robin was truly a devoted mother, wife, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend. She is survived by her loving husband Harlan Thomas Harvey; daughter Laura (Brian) Rader; sons, John (Carolyn) Harvey and Daniel (Tracy) Harvey; four grandchildren Nathan (Jessica) Harvey, Autumn Harvey, Alexis (Leanna) Harvey, and Devyn Harvey; great-grandchildren Levi Harvey and Scarlett Harvey; sister Patricia Kingery; many nieces, nephews, friends and other loving family members. Robin was preceded in death by JoAnne Browning, Mary Hall, Thomas Wayne "Tommy" Dewayne "Sonny" Wayne Vera Rosemary. A gathering of family and friends 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Friday, February 17, 2023, Tobias Funeral Home - Far Hills Chapel, with the funeral service at 12:00 p.m. Burial David's Cemetery.

Lessons you taught me:
"You can stand on your own two feet."
"The best makeup a woman can wear is lipstick and a smile."
"Where does all of the time go?"
"You´re lucky if have one true friend in life."
Missing you!

I had a flashback of 5 of us, Robin and the 4 cousins, and sometimes my mom, crammed into her green Thunderbird, driving to the endless swim meets all over Ohio. Good times, mostly :)
LOTS of tangled hair.. ()

I wanted to add that Aunt Robin was also an entrepreneur:
She sold Avon for years and then a restaurateur, which she ran with her friend, Alice.
And at Christmas time she famous for peanut brittle.
Robin raised 2 of her grandchildren after her children "left the nest" and she always had her circle of friends. She was very dynamic, a life-long student and never met a stranger.
(Typo in my previous post: week shouldn't be after Nursing)

Aunt Robin was a very good woman and a great cook, but why liver? WHY? Thank the gods that Honey, the cocker spaniel, really liked liver.
My Aunt was family, not by blood but by love. She took me in over the summers, not bc she was made to by my Uncle, by blood, she did it bc FAMILY meant something to her. She was the Matriarch. She was mothering to everyone who entered her life. She was brave enough to go back to school and get her degree in Nursing, week before "the older student was trending". She sewed clothing items and then taught herself quilting. She loved going to the races and she had a great, loud, genuine laugh! She welcomed her step-son into her family as though he had always been a part of it. She was a very kind and generous human. Always fun to be around, except when she would comb my long tangled, wet hair. I think she might have taken a bit of pleasure from all the knots of hair there was to get through.
I miss her. She was strong in morals and values and character. She always put her family first and I was fortunate enough to be included.
