Robin Busby-Stephens Obituary

Robin-Busby-Stephens
February 26,1971 - October 23,2020
We never got to say goodbye.
The life of Robin Busby-Stephens was cut short on October 23 when a speeding car, that was racing, hit her vehicle broadside ending her life.
Robin was best known by her great smile, and outgoing nature. She could often be seen riding in her Jeep with her constant companion, German Shepard, Nola, and she was never too busy to stop and help anyone in need.-----She always said and believed that "The Circle is Round."
She was loving, caring, giving, and would rescue, care for, and find a home for any bird or animal that came into her path, often assisted by Empire Vet.
As a life-long resident of Modesto, she attended Empire and Modesto Schools.
She was an independent painter as well as an employee of Sutherland Painting. Various other jobs included positions at Dillons in Sonora, Running Iron in Modesto, and Restoration Hardware in Patterson.
Most devoted to her children, grandchildren and sisters, she was the kindest, most generous, compassionate, silliest, amazing person one could know.
She loved celebrating every holiday, where she always showed up in some spectacular handmade costumes, usually created from items found in thrift stores and yard sales. Robin found the good in everything and brought joy to all those whose lives she touched.
She is survived by her husband, Donald Scott Stephens,
her faithful companion ,Nola,
her parents, Janey Bjustrom-Rees, and Richard Strauman,
her Aunt, Jackie Bates,
Her sisters, Susan Holidy, and Christina Pierce, both of Modesto
Three children, Amber Dick of Modesto, Ami Busby of Missouri, Billy Busby of Texas.
And 4 granchildren, Haylee, Tommie, Conner and Andrew.
She was a rock for her family and friends. We love her and she will be missed beyond measure.
Her life celebration date is to be determined. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to: 'Robin's Animal Love Fund' at
Empire Vet P O Box 602, Empire CA 95319

Robin,
You always made an entrance and made your presence known. No matter how much you talked my ear off, you always made me laugh and I knew you were, who you were. You were funny , down to earth and one of the hardest working women I have ever known.
I will miss your red jeep pulling up and your dog coming in and the way you were always able to help out whenever I or anyone needed you.
I’ll never forget when you came in with a bucket of chicken! Literally! A chicken in a bucket, trying to find it a home! Lol
You were truly one of a kind and I will really miss you. Rest In Peace Rockin Robin-
Shannon

I am shocked and saddened by the news that I read this morning. To Robin's grieving family; my condolences. Janey, I have looked for you online to no availability. I remember babysitting the girls when they were babies. I am so sorry that you are all experiencing this tragedy. Love, Mary

I was visiting her mother, Janey, Mother’s Day 2018. When Robin arrived she had her hands full of gifts for her sister, her mother, and me. Such a sweet surprise, especially for me, almost a stranger to Robin at the time. I cherished her gifts and her loving thoughtful nature from that day forward. Her thoughtfulness and love helped fill an empty hole in my heart. My love for her is forever in there. Love and gentle comforting thoughts to Janey and all the rest of Robin’s family and friends.
