Robbin was such a gem. She was such a rock and a prayer warrior. Here, she is giving my daughter (who she prayed with me for 8 long years for) a bottle. My life has been blessed by her friendship.

I first met Robbin over27 years ago at MABC. Like many before me she took me under her wing and ultimately became my best friend. We were 2 peas in a pod. I will miss her dearly and know she is resting in the arms of Jesus.

I met Robbin at Lakes Pond Baptist Church many years ago. She was a genuine southern lady in love and gentle grace. She loved the Lord and showed His love to everyone and called almost everyone 'darlin'. She taught me how to put together a wedding cake and was so proud of my achievement. I haven't seen her in person for many years even though we weren't far apart but it was always like yesterday when we did see one another. She treated everyone like they were special but she was the special one. She once told me that all her life she wanted to be petite and I saw that she pretty much achieved that goal and she was lovely. We all loved her and will miss her but we know where it find her when we get there...she's sitting in the Lords garden with Jim.

Robbin McVicker: Lovely Lady, Faithful Friend

I enjoyed knowing Robbin for more than thirty years. Her boundless kindness and generosity were rooted in a tested faith in God and a strong love for people and family. She was a talented, knowledgeable cook and an amazing gardener, to name a couple of her creative outlets. Her keen appreciation of beauty and style graced her “joie de vivre” and thankful spirit. I will dearly miss our “Southern Connection” and am comforted to know that she looked forward to meeting her Maker and being reunited with her beloved Jim. My prayers and condolences to all in her precious family.

I've known Robbin since I was a little kid. I've always known her as a sweet wonderful woman. She is in a much better place now. Rest in Heaven Ms. Robbin.
