Robbie loved the Lord and was a faithful member of First Baptist Church in Corinth. She worked in the nursery and the children’s department for several years.

She prepared and served Sunday dinner every Sunday as long as she was able. Skillet fried chicken was a regular staple meal and a delicacy for all of the grandchildren as well as the adults.
