Robin was a member of the Mt. Zion United Methodist Church, Hamilton, VA.

She attended Loudoun Valley High School and Northern Virginia Community College. Robin served in the U.S. Air Force for 18 years from 1974 to 1992. After serving in the Air Force, she worked for the U.S. Postal Service, retiring at age 55.

Robin brought joy and laughter to her family and friends. Her nieces and nephews loved her and knew there would be goodies and adventure when she came to visit. She would help people in any way she could.

She was a big fan of the Bigfoot Travel show and would text to let us know when the show came on. She was our regular TV guide about what was coming on that night. For several years, she would text about Aretha Franklin and was a member of the Aretha Franklin Legend Group.

Robin leaves to cherish her memory; her mother, Ruby Elizabeth Sanford of Sterling, Virginia; sister, Paulette Taylor of Tampa, Florida; two aunts, Pearl Lucas and Frances Lucas of Leesburg, Virginia; sister-in-law, Barbara Sanford of Winchester, Virginia and a host of nieces, nephews, other family members and friends.
