Robin O'Connor Ward, passed away peacefully on October 9, 2025, in Cambridge, MN, after a valiant battle with cancer. Born on July 20, 1962, in Brooklyn Center, MN, Robin's journey was one marked by an unwavering faith, a passion for the simple joys in life, and an enduring legacy of love and compassion.
Her interests were a reflection of her warm and inviting personality. Robin found pleasure in the pages of a good book, the timeless magic of old movies, and the laughter-filled competitiveness of card and board games. Above all, Robin's heart was most fulfilled when she was surrounded by her beloved family. The love she had for her parents, Lawrence and Myrtle, her siblings Bonnie, Cheryl, Becky, and the late Michael, was as steadfast as it was tender.
Robin's own family was the center of her universe. Her husband, Cody, was her partner in every sense, sharing with her a life full of cherished moments and unwavering support. Her children, Stacy, Michael, Brandie, and Jacob, were the pride of her life. Robin's role as a grandmother to William, Isabelle, April, Blakely, Briggs, and Calynn was one she embraced with joy and enthusiasm. The recent addition of great-grandchildren Banks and Sayah also brought her immense joy.
Robin's legacy is one of enduring love and the power of family. It is etched in the hearts of those she has left behind, her memory a guiding star that will continue to inspire and comfort.
A Private Memorial Service will be held.
