Anna Robbins Obituary

Anna B. Robbins, 87, of the Union area, passed away Saturday, May 28, 2016.

Born and raised in Austria, Anna became a nurse and worked for a U.S. ambassador in Europe. There Anna met her future husband Glenn, a lawyer, who was the ambassador's brother-in-law. Glenn married and brought Anna to St. Louis, where they lived in Clayton and their country farm in Union. Anna loved her garden and the animals she raised. Anna was loved by all.

Anna was the beloved wife of the late Glenn K. Robbins; dear mother of Joseph (Mary), Edward, Glenn II (Lynn) and Richard (Chinimi); and loving grandmother of Katherine Hollensteiner (Justin) and Andrew Robbins.

Per Anna's wishes, her body was donated to Washington University.
