Robin McCafferty Obituary

Robin McCafferty



Robin Marie McCafferty passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on December 10, 2019 at the age of 56. Robin's ashes were scattered in the rose garden at Sunset Memorial Park Cemetery following a private memorial attended by her brothers and sisters.

Robin was born in Detroit, Michigan and moved with her family to Albuquerque, New Mexico when she was 10 years old. She graduated from Eldorado High School where she was a member of the symphony orchestra which traveled to the International Youth and Music Festival in Vienna, Austria in Robin's senior year. After graduation, Robin obtained an associate's degree from Albuquerque Technical Vocational Institute and moved to Washington, DC to work for the US State Department. In recent years, Robin found her career at Presbyterian Health Care as a medical transcriptionist and medical coder. Robin was also an important in-home caregiver for the family, allowing their mother to live out her last few months in the comfortable surroundings of her own home.

Robin embraced the internet and found meaningful connections with friends across the globe. She currated inclusive online communities among a variety of interests. Those of you who knew Robin knew that she loved her cats more than anything in the world and was a big supporter of cat and animal rescue groups. If you would like to do something nice in her memory, please make a donation to Kennel Kompadres (www.kennelkompadres.org) to help them continue to improve the lives of shelter cats and dogs while they wait for adoption. Robin would have loved that. ~The McCafferty Family

My sister and I worked with Robin for many years at Sunbelt Adjusters. My brother Dan was office manager there for a time as well. My son Chris worked with Robin at Sears and Winrock Hotel. Robin and her mom became good friends with our family and we had a lot of good times going to concerts, movies, shopping... Although I haven't been in contact much since she began working at home, she will always have a special place in my memories. I always think of her on St. Patrick's Day because she's my only truly Irish friend. God bless you.
