Robyn Cleaves, the youngest of 5 children, was born on January 23, 1971, in Nashua, NH, to Sandra and Maurice Cleaves. She passed away peacefully at the age of 54 in her apartment. Robyn is survived by her daughter Cassandra Cleaves, two sisters Andrea & Marnie, and beloved niece/nephew Ellie and Ben. Robyn is also survived by her life-long-friends in NH, including her greatest support, Michele, and the father of her child, Jeff, who she remained friends with despite their daughter's age.
Robyn lived most of her life in New Hampshire, only leaving to be close to her daughter these past few years in Utah. She grew up in a small town called Wilton, NH where she quit school to get her GED, then proceeded to get her CNA license via night classes while working full-time to make ends meet. Robyn spent her adult life caring for others both professionally and personally. She not only helped people with disabilities live their best quality of life professionally, but she would give a friend her last dollar because that’s who she was.
Robyn’s biggest pride and joy in life was her daughter. She was incredibly proud of her and made sure everyone knew it, bragging to all her friends when her daughter would come home to visit. Aside from her daughter, Robyn loved her “fur-grandbabies”, being by the water, whether a hot tub, beach, lake, or pond. She also loved riding motorcycles, and attending rock shows or seeing live bands wherever she could. Robyn was strong-willed, adventurous, kind-hearted, and deeply loved. Her love will live on in our hearts forever, and she will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate enough to know her.
Robyn was cremated and her daughter will hold a ceremony to spread the ashes on July 6th, followed by a Celebration of Life 3PM at the Milford, NH Legion.
