Robin Gehl Obituary
Robin Jane Gehl was born on November 20, 1960 in Iowa Falls, Iowa to Dwayne Roeske and Ruth Ann Pieper. She graduated from Iowa Falls High School in the class of 1979. On June 7, 1980, Robin was united in marriage to James Gehl at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Fulda, Minnesota. Robin spent many of her years working at Kinbrae Supper Club, St. Paul's Lutheran School, and Maple Lawn.
Robin cherished her life on the farm, cultivating her passion for gardening and sharing her harvest with others. As a result of her generous and loyal spirit, Robin was loved by many. She was strong in her faith, found joy in cooking, and loved spending time with her children and grandchildren. Robin was a devoted servant in her church and community. She selflessly gave her time, energy, and love to all those around her. She taught us all the importance and value of faith and family.
To know Robin, was to love her.
