Robin Steward Obituary

Published by the Daily Freeman from Apr. 16 to Apr. 17, 2016.
Robin K. Steward KINGSTON-Robin K. Steward, 52, of Kingston, a beloved mother, suddenly passed away at home on April 9th 2016. Born March 20, 1964 in Kingston, she was the daughter of the late Donald and June L. (Dunham) Steward. Robin served in the United States Army and was a retired veteran. Family and friends were Robin’s passion and delight. Known for her ease in frequent conversation with even total strangers, she possessed a contagious smile and an entertaining sense of humor. Throughout her life she was incredibly generous and had what most people thought, a big heart. Her signature gift of joy was shown through her constant smiling, laughter, and joking around and will never be forgotten. Surviving is her son, Joshua D. Steward of New York City; her sisters, Donna Zeeh and her husband Bill of Saugerties, Margie Playford and her husband Bill of Kingston, along with her brother Donald Steward and his wife Sharon of Kingston. In addition to many nieces and nephews. Cremation and memorial arrangements are under the guidance of the Joseph V. Leahy Funeral Home, Inc., 27 Smith Avenue, Kingston. www.jvleahyfh.com

It's just so sad such a beautiful young woman was taken from us all she was a steward who served for her country and has a family who miss her dearly I am almost sure she looking down on us and wanting to call my sister Linda they were funny I and my family enjoyed being invited to her home once and keeping in touch as cousin was fun too we learned some funny steward story's sad ones too but Robin was real as can be already that's my opinion so never forget Robin because she deserves to be remembered.sinserily carol

Robin. You were always such a lovely person. I remember you always having a smile on your face and grace and happiness filled your heart which flowed on the outside to all whom you knew or met . It was a pleasure to share part of my childhood with you. I was proud to be a classmate with someone as pure and joyful of heart which you were . Robin I hope you are enjoying that place on the other side free of pain worry and suffering . You are one of our angels . I hope to see you again on the other side.

I was thinking of you Robyn and wish I had been able to be in touch again years ago. I will always remember her for her wonderful way of being a friend. Working with Robyn at the Newburgh Auto Auction back in the early 90's was such a memorable time. I always respected her too for her service. I enjoyed all the fun we had at work and the few times hanging out after work hours. You will forever be in my heart as a GREAT friend Robyn. Till we meet again someday. Love you always Robyn.

HI, my name is Kate Rishoff, and I reside in Boca Raton, FL. Robin was in a few classes with me in school at Chambers. She and I were never much one for Recess when other kids went out to the playground. So instead, Robin and I were at a table in the back of Mr Burgher's classroom, and we would just talk and talk and talk. We would talk about all different things, but as Sixth Grade girls and the age that we were we sort of centered around the conversation of the boys that we liked in school. It was funny because I knew that Robin was so sweet and I trusted her for not saying anything....thus whatever she told me, it was the same... Such a sweet sweet person. When I look at this obituary I just can't believe she is gone. I felt that she was a lovely person back then, and although we were not in touch over the years, something tells me that she never changed from the person I remember. In class we used to help each other out with things. I would choose her as a partner for projects, being that we were recess buddies already, why not? We were working on a BiCentennial Project because we were graduating in 1976 (a big year to Graduate...the nation's Bi-Centennial...and all of us had projects to work on.) I was working on FDR's "We have nothing to fear but fear itself, and the speech balloon came out of a radio.... I worked on one part of the project, and I said to Robin "I know..I'm busy with this, why don't you help me with FDR's silohuette ?" She enthusiastically said "Oh okay..." and it was as if a spark went off in her....and she did a fantastic job at it.. OMG, I said to myself "I actually have a classmate who wants to work with me.." since I was such a nerdy thing, I loved it that I had a friend. Robin...you were that sweet friend, and I will always remember you for that. Thank you for being my friend...Something tells me that I have an angel up there....I am sure she was for many people,...just had that personality." I was just thinking of you the other day... Rest in Peace... Enjoy Paradise... One day we will meet again.

I am so sad to finally find out how she's doing,. I've tried through out the years,. I should have devoted more time in trying and maybe we would have connected again both presently in life. The 1st time I met her,. completely knocked me into awe,. she was amazing,. indeed her smile and eyes,. fit her soul so vibrantly. My entire immediate family became close friends with her too,. specially her and my mom,. who passed away 4/11/2007.
Ever since,I don't think we were much in touch afterwards. Robin and Josh will always remain apart of my life history and memory. Have thought about and missed her especially,I hope whatever your new journey becomes of,you'll always be you because amazing is a small fraction of so much else.
Had there have been another way before now since we last spoke,to say hey,and catch up on so much yet with so few changes.,(in my life) within these nearly 10 yrs,Such less regret on reaching you would be,and so much more to miss and adore about you would be as I do now either way.
James Taylor,. The Cars,Gordon Light-foot,. and there's the 1 song about I AM WHO I AM,. I can't find it now but will recall that and more., your Buffalo chicken wings,Italian Chicken,. everything you did and enjoyed you gave your all into doing it right,. with heart.
Endlessly I swear I could continue on here rewinding,remembering and sharing as though directly to you,about you,and so many yrs.of crazy and awesome times we spent and went through,together.
Always have remained in my heart and many thoughts as you always will.,I'm glad I finally found you my friend,. I'm sorry it was this way,but at peace you are and that's what matters,. I hope Joshua if you read this,you'll say hello to me as I hope dearly your well and continuing on in all the right ways.
Love you both,.

As Robin's ex husband, I want to say she could be the life of the party. Even in divorce she was friendly. She will be and are/is missed. I find it hard on a daily basis to fantom that she is gone. God Bless you Robin. You are no longer in pain. My through and prayer go to you and Joshua Daniel. The only woman I would or ever married.

I have wonderful memories of sharing classes with Robin in Third, FOurth and Sixth Grades. What a pleasant and happy person that she was. Her obituary suited her to a tee due to the fact that her personality lent toward opening up to everyone with that way that she had about her and a smile that was infectious. Very often instead of going outside at recess sometimes we would just sit inside the classroom at this back table and just sit and talk and connect with each other as classmates and most importantly as friends. Robin, you are gone too soon; I will remember you with a smile because that is what you brought to everyone around you. Thank you for making those years in school brighter ones for me knowing you. I will pray and think of you often, as will many others as well. Love and God's Peace. You are in a good place. Heaven has a new angel!

Rest in Peace Robin
Love always your classmate, Kathy Rishoff
