Robin GOODRICH Obituary

Published by Edmonton Journal from Jan. 6 to Jan. 7, 2012.
GOODRICH, Robin Louise
May 19, 1952 - December 15, 2011
After almost four years of fighting cancer with "Robinesque" grace and determination, Robin died peacefully at home on Thursday.
Robin was the wife of Geoffrey Oliver, mother of Ada and Francky Oliver, daughter of Clive and Ada Goodrich, sister of Colleen (Carl Vesterback), Gordon and Carrie (Bill Anderson) Goodrich, auntie to many nieces and nephews, and beloved friend and colleague of many.
Please follow Robin's blog, What's Up With Robin, ( wuwr.blogspot.com ) for information regarding events and the Memorial Service January 14, 2012. There will, of course, be a great party to celebrate a great person!

I am saddened to hear of the loss of this terrific woman. I have many happy memories of gathering at Robin's home in Laurier Heights when we were kids. Her passing is a great loss to those who shared time with her. - My sincere sympathy, Susan Yake Phillippe

I'm so sorry to hear of Robin's passing Carrie, and families. Loved that you held a celebration of her life, how fitting as I did read her blog. I remember fondly how important your family was to you. Take care of each other, you are in my thoughts - Sheri Long

I had heard of Robin's illness and was sad to learn of her passing. She faced her enemy with typical Goodrich fortitude! Robin, you've provided your family and friends with a remarkable example on how to live life to its fullest, no matter what comes your way. My sympathy to the Goodrich family, Sheila Butt

My family in Edmonton remember Robin from when she was a little girl on 65th Street in Edmonton. We lived across the street, and I babysat Robin and her sister Colleen. We lost track of the Goodrich family so I was glad to read about Robin and what a wonderful, meaningful life she'd had. Condolences to you all from Ruth Edgar and dad, Ellison Edgar.

I took piano lessons from Robin as well as Colleen many years ago as a child. I have fond memories of lessons, laughter and then those dreaded recitals in the living room! My condolences to you all.
