Robin Edwards Obituary

Robin Gail Harris Edwards, 54, passed with her loving husband by her side on March 23, 2017. She was born in Lake Charles, LA to Aubert "Bud" Harris and Louvicie "Lou" Harris on October 9th, 1962. Anyone who knew Robin knew that she loved her family fiercely and passionately. She has always been a servant at heart and dedicated her time as a young mother to her children as a teacher. She served her church as a Bible study leader, a mentor, a receptionist, and even started a library in one of her past home churches. She also served in AWANA children's ministry programs at three different churches for 13 years. As a member of Ascension Baptist Church in Gonzales, LA she was involved in maintaining their social media accounts and was only just beginning to start yet another Bible study. Later in life, she found a renewed purpose in serving her country as an advocate and defender of her strong conservative beliefs and morals. She was a founding member of the Baton Rouge Tea Party and then began Louisiana Grassroots, a conservative lobbying organization. A few years later she left politics and gratefully settled into the role of a devoted and faithful 'Mawmaw'. Many will remember Robin for her bright smile, her drive and purposefulness, and the wholehearted love she had for her children and grandchildren. She is preceded by her father, Aubert "Bud" Harris and sister, Jennifer Harris. She is succeeded by her husband, Keith, mother, Louvicie "Lou" Stone , sister's Sharon Watkins of Corpus Christi, TX and Laura Sepich of Pittsburg, PA, daughter's Jessica Sevin and Devin Edwards of Ypsilanti, MI, and her grandchildren, Layton and Brooklynn Sevin. Visitation will be held from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm on Monday, March 27th at Ascension Baptist Church. Services will immediately follow at 2:00 pm. Interment will be at Resthaven Cemetery in Baton Rouge, La following the Service. In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to one or more of the following: Ascension Baptist Church Missions Fund, 13432 Airline Highway, Gonzales, LA. 70737. Awaken Recovery, P.O.

It's two years today that we said our final, "See you later..." as we watched the box slipped into the vault. Safe from flood. Safe from frogs.

I may go by to visit tonight... I've only been a half dozen times since that day. Some gain comfort by visiting the 'final resting place' but I don't. You're not there. A temporary body that you no longer need is, along with a really nice, 'custom' artificial floral arrangement. But today I might... I'm not really sure why I have the urge. Eh... it may pass. But if I do, I'll sit a little. Reminisce, I guess, but I do that already. If nothing else, I can make sure the photo and flowers are still intact. Oh well... We'll see.

Keith & Robin were the first friends I made after moving to Baton Rouge in 2001. I'll always remember Robin's big heart and her awesome lasagna. She always knew I could never turn down a dinner invitation when she cooked that lasagna. She had a special way of always making me feel like she cooked it just for me. And she always made sure to send me home with plenty leftovers. That's the heart of the Robin I will always remember.
