After her first marriage, she married Calvin Wellmaker on January 20th 1996, in Lena, Wi.

Robin enjoyed many job opportunities, though talked most fondly of her time as a librarian.

She loved gardening and planting all sorts of flowers and vegetables, art activities; glass staining/cutting work, drawing, stitching and painting. Pretty much loved being outside all summer as long as the sun was out, and she loved watching the butterflies!!

The family would like to thank Dawn Oates (sister) for taking the extra time the last few years to visit and help Robin around the house and with her dialysis therapy. Also, Katrina Wellmaker (daughter in-law) for doing a lot of her running around. A special thank you to, Nick (son) for doing a lot of her house maintenance and errands as her health declined. They shared a very special bond.
