Robin Elder Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Memorial Park Funeral Home & Crematory - St. Petersburg on Jul. 7, 2025.
Robin Elder, 71, of Largo, Florida, passed away peacefully on July 3, 2025.
Born in Boston, Massachusetts, on February 7, 1954, Robin brought creativity, warmth, and kindness into the world from the very beginning. She found joy in family, friends and loved her hobbies - especially sewing and embroidery, where she poured love into every creation. She was also devoted to her beloved toy fox terriers, who brought her endless happiness over the years.
Robin married the love of her life, Ken, on December 29, 1974, and together they shared a beautiful 50-year journey filled with love, laughter, and enduring partnership. Her greatest joy was her family, and she was a devoted wife and proud mother to their two sons, Thomas and Michael. She also held a special place in her heart for her nephew Stephen, who was like a son to her.
Robin will be remembered for her spirit, her creativity, and the deep love she gave to those fortunate enough to know her. Her presence made the world softer and kinder.
She is survived by her husband Ken, sons Thomas and Michael, and nephew Stephen.
A private family gathering will be held to honor Robin's life. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the American Heart Association in Robin's memory.
Robin's love, grace, and warmth will remain forever in the hearts of those who loved her.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I worked for Ken and when the pandemic started, it was hard to get masks. Robin put her sewing skills to work and delivered a bunch of masks that she had sewn for us so that we could be safe. I will never forget that sweet act of kindness.
