It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of Robin Lynn Bare, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend.

Her spirit, warmth, and love left an indelible mark on everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Robin was the cherished daughter of the late Robert Frank Grabow Jr. and Shelby Jean Black. She was predeceased by her parents, along with a daughter and a son, whose memories she held close to her heart.

A nurturing and doting grandmother, Robin's heart was filled with joy by her grandchildren: Angel, Chloe, Mia, and Gracie. She also embraced her extended family, including four stepchildren and numerous step-grandchildren, along with multiple nieces and nephews, each of whom she loved dearly. Robin found immense joy and companionship in her beloved pets: her dog, Diamond, and her cats, Precious and Autumn. These cherished animals were not just pets but part of her family, bringing her comfort and happiness throughout her life. She found a sense of community and adventure with the motorcycle group ABATE, which her husband Billy is a member of. Robin relished the freedom of the open road and the camaraderie she shared with fellow riders.
