Robin DeValt Obituary
Robin DeValt, aged 60, passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 22, surrounded by family and friends, after a long battle with breast cancer. Robin is survived by Sean, her husband of 36 years, daughters Gwendolyn and Moriah, beloved granddaughter Claire, father William Devalt, and brother Adam Devalt.
Robin was born and raised in Stratford, Connecticut, the oldest of three siblings. She attended Fairfield University for undergraduate school, and Ohio State University for graduate school. It was at OSU she met her husband Sean, whom she married in September 1988. After moving to Saratoga Springs, NY, Robin spent over two decades caring for seniors at Woodlawn Commons, where she was beloved by residents and staff alike for her devotion and kindness. Robin also worked weekends at the Saratoga Springs Public Library where she was able to share her love of books with all. Robin loved spending time with family and friends, particularly travelling to North Carolina to spend time with her granddaughter, and visiting wineries on her weekends off.
Robin was a loving, devoted mother, grandmother, wife, and a loyal and generous friend. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
A remembrance will be held on Wednesday, April 2, 2025 at Woodlawn Commons in Saratoga Springs, NY, from 6:30 PM to 8 PM.
In lieu of flowers, donations are requested in Robin's name to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

I grew up down the street from Robin and her kind family. We went to Chapel Street School together. I have many fond memories of playing outside together in my yard or hers. Drawing pictures, sled riding sharing some cookies and hot cocoa, and having a good laugh or singing a song. Good times were had by us both. Peace to her family and friends.

Robin and I met at Fairfield University. We were in the Honors Seminar together. She was brilliant, sensitive, wise and kind. I last saw her on her wedding day. Life quickly took us in separate directions. I moved to Colorado. When I moved back East and found out that Robin lived in Saratoga Springs, I had thought to reach out. Maybe make a lunch date on my way through the Springs, but I never did. Looking back after all the years, I see our friendship that year in college as a blessing and a gift Robin gave me. To Sean and her whole family, Robin was a special person. I am sorry for your loss.
