Robin Conyers Obituary

Published by Richmond Times-Dispatch on Dec. 13, 2009.
CONYERS, Robin B., age 54, formerly of Petersburg, Va., departed this life on Saturday, December 5, 2009 at their home in Glenview, Illinois with her devoted husband by her side. Robin's life and personality were as a multifaceted diamond, as they shone brightly and made a lasting impression on all whom she met. Robin was private, strong-willed, self-motivated and hard working. Although she was the consummate professional and liked everything first-class, Robin was also compassionate, giving and immeasurably loyal to family and friends. Robin was Area Vice President of Central Retail Sales, U.S. Biscuit Division of Kraft Food. She is survived by her husband, Moses Braxton Jr.; her parents, Francis N. and Otelia Jones Barboza of Petersburg; a brother, Francis Barboza Jr. of Petersburg; six sisters, Paulette Edmonds (Glasco) and Dominga Barboza of Richmond, Cheryl and Lauren Barboza, and Carla Bradley (Howard), all of Petersburg, and Alicia Fortune (Michael) of Norcross, Ga.; five sisters-in-law, Brenda Anderson, Gwendolyn B. Plymouth, Jacquelin Jones, Valerie Braxton-Williams (Howard) and Bonita Braxton Trusty (George); a host of other relatives and friends; two devoted friends, Jacqui Grant and Kathey Stone. Robin was a jewel and we celebrate her life and thank God for the years we shared with her on this side. A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, December 15, at the Bethany Missionary Baptist Church, 613 E. Wythe Street, Petersburg, Va. 23803. The family may be contacted at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Francis Barboza, 1919 Coggin Street, Petersburg, Va. 23805, phone # (804) 861-9174. www.blandenterprisesinc.com

To the Robin Conyer’s Husband & Family,

I truly send my deepest sympathy in the loss of a most beautiful wife and daughter. Robin's life was truly not in vain. As I have seen on the internet, she will be apart of history on many levels.

As a parent that also lost her child...the pain lessens in time, but the memories never, never goes away. I know this first hand. There are moments that you can not believe that, as parents, siblings, spouse, colleague, family, or friend...you will not ever be able to hug, call, or see Robin again...but, as my experience has been, her loss will always leave a warm glow in your hearts, forever.

Robin was a gem in many; many ways...I am sure of this.

Tia, the special part of the loss for you is that you shared your heartbeat with Robin…this will always be your special memory …as with all of your surviving children.

We hope that God has embraced her as she was when she was here on earth.

Again, I was so sorry to have learned of her death and send my deepest sympathy and love to everyone.

I am so sorry to hear about Robin's untimely departure to a better world. She touched me deeply at a Kraft meeting where she revealed her struggle. I suspected I was getting ready for the same struggle which was confirmed a few days later. May peace be with you all and the joy of having been with her throughout her life.
