Robin Goodrich Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Dec. 20 to Dec. 22, 2011.
May 19, 1952 - December 15, 2011 After almost four years of fighting cancer with "Robinesque" grace and determination, Robin died peacefully at home. 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. There will, of course, be a great party to celebrate a great person!

Robin was a great example of joie de vivre, optimism and courage. I have no doubt her absence will be difficult. Her close relatives were blessed to have such an outstanding person in their lives. I consider myself lucky to have known her in the last couple of years.

My condolences,

We are saddened by this news. Robin was a fighter - for herself, for her family and friends and for a better world. It was always a pleasure to work with Robin and the world has lost a dedicated social policy analyst and advocate, who did her job calmly (most of the time!) and with grace and much cheerfulness.

Our thoughts are with you as you try to adjust to the loss of such a strong person and presence in your lives.

My condolences,

Laurel O'Connor

Sincere condolences to Robin's family. She fought the dragon with all she had. Having experienced similar situations, we exchanged experiences and were members of a LISTSERV of many like cancer patients and survivors.

I so wished for her to join the survivor group, but it was not to be. May memories of her help you all overcome your grief!

With you in sorrow!
