Robin was born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama on February 12, 1963. As a child, she attended Unity Baptist Church. She graduated from West End Christian School in 1981. Robin and Jeff settled in the Gilgal Community, raising 3 children at Gilgal Baptist Church. Being a mother came easy to her. She always knew her children were a gift from God. She loved her trips to the beach. Planning everything on the Gatlinburg trips and always trying to make sure everyone had a good time. Robin and Jeff together have been teaching children’s church at Gilgal for over 25 years. She always puts others first. Never had a bad word for anyone. This she learned from Jesus. We already miss her, but we know we will one day see Robin again.
