Not sure what to say?

Missed Rob when she moved to Wanaka as she often popped in on her way from Invers
Sorry not with you all today .. big love to all xxxfrom us both

Our deepest condolences to all. So love Robyn and her valued personality, love and compassionate input to all netball family, forever treasured, regards Bev Harvey

What an honour and privilege it was to have met and been coached under Robbie. Truly an inspiration to all and put player welfare at the forefront of her expectations of all. Love to all xx

Our families were close in those early Invercargill years. Although we moved north the connections and contact continued from the strong foundation!!! Two Robyn´s Warren and Ken. I was fortunate ??? to travel to Invercargill for work in the 90´s the highlight was to stay with Robyn and Warren that relationship continued whether it was catching Robyn in Auckland or popping in to Wanaka in later years. That laugh and smile is still ringing in my ears. My thoughts are with you all today as you...

Dear Warren, Kirsty and all family, Many kindest thoughts of Sympathy and Love in the passing of Robyn, truly a much-respected lady. I have many fine memories of Robyn sharing her experiences throughout our Netball commitments at trainings or when some Rule clarifications were required, these times and many others I will always treasure. I have a photo on my office wall with us both at the previous (2014) SISS, where she has a brilliant smile on her face, always will be remembered. Colleen...

I was really saddened to hear of the passing of Robyn (Mrs Broughton). I enjoyed being in her PE class and the support she gave me in my own sporting pursuits. We disagreed about netball being the best sport and I'll always remember being told to tuck my shirt in when I did play netball. Love to all the family, she will be missed.

Dear Warren and family Robyn was a very dear work collogue and friend. I really appreciated her work ethic and professionalism. We had many discussions around work, sport and family. Robyn has influenced me in how I work with students and her no nonsense approach. She had a way of saying like it was. Both Sharon and I have had something to do with the Broughton's since Kirsty was at high school. We have many found memories of Robyn

So privileged to have been coached and mentored by Mrs Broughton (at Verdon College) and Rob (for Sting). So many great memories from those days. Rob had an incredible passion that she instilled in all of her players and teams. Rob built a culture of whanau where we always wanted to play our best for each other. A clever, talented, kind and compassionate lady who taught me so much in sport & life. Thank you Rob & thinking of Kirsty, Warren and your whanau at this sad time xo

I have wonderful memories of a very special friend from our Otagu uni days & with Netball - playing together for Otago , travelling to Australia with a NZ University team & enjoying every minute of the times we shared. It is hard for me to come to terms with losing Robyn as she was such an inspiration to so many. Ours was a friendship I will never forget. With sincere thoughts to the family from Leonie Summerville ( nee Skerrett)
