Obituary
Age 63, passed away at her home on December 7, 2020. She was born on May 14, 1957, the daughter of James and Arlene (Merchant) Ashley. Robin was kind, loving and sharing. She loved to spend time with family and friends and was most happy when everyone gathered. Holidays were Robin’s favorite time of year and she always made sure everyone felt they had a place. Robin’s home and heart were open, and all were made to feel welcome. She enjoyed staying up on current affairs and being connected with friends through social media. Robin was a woman of faith and hope, and her personal relationship with God was important to her. More than anything, Robin loved her children and grandchildren. She leaves her family with many special memories to be cherished and she will be missed by all who loved her. Robin is survived by four children, Ginny Welburn, Ashley Carter, Aaron Carter and Dan (Caitlyn Cornwell) Welburn; seven grandchildren, Seth Hoke, Kenadi, Averie, Hayden and Deagan Shepperd, Mason Carter and Benjamin Welburn; her father, James Ashley; four siblings, Evalyn (Duane) Soderquist, Carla (Richard) Gordon, Michael Ashley and James (Joyce) Ashley; many nieces, nephews and friends. She was preceded in passing by her mother Arlene and a sister, Patricia Donaghe-Eager.

Robin, you have been in my life sense the day you were born 63 years ago and we’ve had our ups and downs through out those years however one thing has stood true and that is Family is Family and no matter how bad things get we are always there for each other no matter what. I find it really hard to say goodbye to you so I won’t, instead I’ll just say see you when GOD calls me home so for now enjoy you new wings. Love and Miss you Always and Forever Carla
Robin and I were classmates from kindergarten through senior graduation. I have many fond memories in my childhood growing up together. There was one thing that stands out in my mind about her, and that she was this cute little feisty blonde, but had a sweet spirit in her. I have nothing but good memories of her during those years. After graduation, I moved out of state and most connections from high school were lost…..until Face Book. My sincere condolences go to Robins children, and family. I am thinking of your family’s during this Christmas season.
