Robin Wiley Obituary
Robin Wiley (née Zehner) died unexpectedly, but peacefully at home on March 22, 2021. Always a warrior, Robin had bravely fought many health complications brought on by her diabetes.
Robin was born in Toledo on November 27,1946. Raised in North Toledo, she graduated Woodward High School in 1964.
Robin married her high school sweetheart, Michael Wiley, Sr. They share three children that she enjoyed and loved to the moon and back. Although divorced in 1997, she and Michael remained not only family, but wonderful friends.
After their children were born, Robin pursued her dream career in nursing, and settled in at Howard Pediatrics (the future Toledo Pediatrics), the largest pediatric practice in Toledo. Robin delightfully helped insure the health and well-being of two generations of Toledo children up until retirement. Robin loved her work family and also her patients. Never forgetting a face or a name, it was nearly impossible for her to complete an errand without running into a beloved patient.
Robin loved exercise and took great joy in visiting Pearson and Wildwood parks. She was an avid reader, music fan, lover of pizza, and a sports spectator, particularly the University of Michigan teams. Robin was a volunteer at the Toledo Zoo Amphitheater Concerts. She loved animals and took great joy in caring for the birds and squirrels who lived by her apartment. Always a champion of the underdog, Robin cared deeply about social justice causes. She was strong-willed, empathetic, and loyal. She never passed litter without picking it up, and took great pride in cleaning up her neighborhood daily.
Over the last years, Robin's constant companion was Mel McCloskey. He brightened her days, and helped her fight through her recent health struggles with spirit and grace. She truly treasured him.
Robin (also known as Moppy by her family) is survived by Mel; her ex-husband, Michael; her son, Michael and his wife Danielle; daughters, Melissa and Megen; Megen's partner, Nick; and her two grandchildren, whom she loved dearly, Dylan and Max. She is also survived by her mom, Miki; her aunt, Carol Jean; her sisters, Constance, Margaret, Laura; and brother, Michael. A memorial service is being planned at Pearson Park for the summer of 2021. For more information on the memorial, or to share any memories you have of Robin, please email [email protected]
In Robin's memory, please be kind, and remember to pick up litter. She dreamt of a world without diabetes and homelessness, so any charitable donation towards eradicating either is truly appreciated.
