Norbertus Robben Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 11, 2026.
Norbertus (Berry) Cornelis Everardus Maria Robben, age 64, of Ardmore, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully in his home on February 25th, 2026.

Berry was born in Tilburg, the Netherlands, to Annemarie Bakkum and Cees Robben. He pursued his medical education at the University of Utrecht before completing residency at Duke University Medical Center. He served as an Attending Physician before founding Mind Your Skin, a boutique medical spa, in 2007.

Beyond medicine, Berry was an accomplished musician, an avid photographer, and a patron of the arts. He carried with him a deep pride in his Dutch heritage - its culture, traditions, food, and football. Berry was a loving and devoted father. He held his children to high standards, believing passionately in their potential.

Berry is survived by his four beloved children, Gregory (Christina Samela), Nicholas, Keith, and Lia; his ex-wife, good friend, and mother of his children, Dr. Julia H. Cohen; his widow, Kim Darnall; his siblings, Mieke, Hans, and Francis; his mother, Annemarie Bakkum; and a wide circle of cherished friends.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Berry's memory to local musical organizations. He will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
