Robin Seekins Obituary

Seekins, Robin B. (Nee Smith) Found her peace on Monday, Nov. 19, 2012, age 60. Beloved wife of Steven Seekins for 42 years. Loving mother of Andrea (Paul) Drapeau and Leyla Seekins, as well as to Rugby and Squirt. Survived by her father Wayne and brothers Guy (Vicki) and Perry Smith. Further survived by sisters-in-law Sharon (Terry) Fulton and Lorene (Glen) Dalsant as well as by Aunts Eileen Smith, Vera Smith and Elanore Koscinski. Dear friend to Elsie, Niff and Angie. Further loved by many close relatives, friends and MB20 pals. Entombment at WISCONSIN MEMORIAL PARK, 13235 W. Capitol Dr., Brookfield, WI 53005 on Friday, Nov. 30, 2012 at 1:45 PM. Please meet in the Green Area of the main entrance. Gathering in the Chapel of the Flowers 2-4 PM followed by a Celebration of Robin's Life service at 4 PM. Robin's gifts as an artist were outstanding. Beginning in childhood, she explored and mastered many mediums including drawing, painting, stained glass and jewelry. Her enthusiasm and generosity of spirit extended beyond her family and unto every person and animal that she met. Happy to help others, she was a long-time volunteer at Linden Grove. Her happiest moments included spending time with family and friends, walking her dog, working on her art as well as attending live concerts with her husband, Steve. Robin truly had a heart of gold and while she is already being missed by all who knew her, she will never be forgotten. A very special Thank You to all who cared for her at Community Memorial Hospital and VNA Home Hospice for helping Robin find peace at home.

Dear Steve, Andrea, Leyla and family-

I am so saddened by the passing of this wonderful woman. She was a bright light in our world; she was so giving of her time and her heart. I was lucky to be able to call her 'friend'. May the memories comfort you in the days and years to come. The song may be over, but the music will live on ...forever. ?
