Robin was born on January 26th, 1963 to the late Carol Ann Jackson and late Rudolph McKeithan in Washington, DC. At the age of four she was relocated to Winston Salem, North Carolina to live with her father’s sister Dorothy Hunt, better known as Aunt Dot. Aunt Dot raised Robin as if she was her own daughter. By the age of ten, Robin returned to Washington, DC to live with her mother.
Robin attended DC Public Schools and later worked at George Washington University. Thereafter, she found comfort in becoming a homemaker until her time of departure. One of Robin’s favorite hobbies was playing with dolls, which stuck with her from childhood. Her passion for collecting and playing with dolls was a special hobby shared with her late mother Carol.
There was nothing Robin loved more than spending time with her family especially her late son Raheem McKeithan. They would do everything from going to the movies, parks, the zoo and also taking trips to Atlantic City every summer. Not only were the two Mother and Son, they were great companions and best friends. She really shared a strong bond with all four of her children and would move hell and high water to protect and serve them.
Robin is survived by her Children, Eric Bernard, Ayesha Michelle and Alicia Aja McKeithan; her beloved brother William Bernard McKeithan. Her six grandchildren, Alayzia, Jadah, Qudir, Frank, Jayden and Malik McKeithan; her grandmother Marguerite Smallwood and cousin/mother figure, Viola Gray; her uncle, Horace McKeithan; her cousins, Derrick Hardy, Denise and Lee McKeithan; her best friend Janet (Shawn) Durham, her special friends; Quinzella Chambers, Stephanie Wicker, Ronald Wilson and Tanika Easter ; a loyal companion Jasper (Tee) Pitt and a host of other family and friends; all who has shared many moments with her through her life.
