"Robin spent her childhood in Nebraska and graduated from Lincoln Southeast High School in 1962. She went on to graduate from the University of Nebraska with a degree in teaching. Robin spent 25 years living in the Tampa, FL area and prior to that moved many times to cheer on the various football teams her husband, Monte, was coaching. She made dear friends in all the places they lived, including; Nebraska, Arkansas, North Carolina, Wisconsin, New York, Minnesota, Florida, Tennessee, California, Texas, and Mississippi," her obituary announced.
"Robin lived her last four years of life in Oxford, MS, where she was surrounded by her family and friends. She loved cheering on her sons and the Ole Miss Rebels football team, as well as spending as much time as she could with her kids and grandchildren.
