Entered into rest, after a prolonged illness, on Monday, September 22, 2025, Robin A. Slater of West Newton, MA, formerly of Waltham, MA. Daughter of the late Melvin L. Slater and Minnie (Shulman) Slater, both of Boston, and later of West Newton. Robin was a graduate of Newton High School and Grahm Junior College, on her way to becoming a legal secretary, a career she practiced at various law offices the last 25 years of which were spent at Ropes & Gray until her retirement. She enjoyed sports, especially bowling and golfing with her friends, and was a big hockey fan. She spent many years volunteering her services at various agencies locally, particularly helping with special needs children.
