Sandy was born on October 6, 1946 to LaPreal and Dr. R. Dee Robbins in San Francisco, and was raised in Santa Rosa. She graduated from UC Davis and became an extraordinary and passionate teacher, with the majority of her career spent at Piner Olivet Elementary school, where she cultivated a love of arts and artists in her students. It was there that she met several of her many life-long friends, as she naturally drew people to her.
Sandy loved adventure and traveling with her husband, Art. She loved the water and would dive into the ocean, no matter whether there were sharks, manta rays, or barracudas around her. She was fearless. Sandy had a knack for finding connection with anyone she met, and for warming the room with her smile and quick wit. Her family and friends knew her to be empathetic, loyal, joyful, and vivacious, and she made the world come alive for everyone around her. She had a zest for life. She carried a light inside that brightened the world around her.
Along with her husband and children, Sandy is survived by her brothers Craig Robbins (Susan) and Michael Robbins (Kathy), her daughter's fiancé, Joshua Slater, and her nephews Chris (Ashley), Joshua, and Charlie Robbins, as well as many dear and devoted friends.
Here at the Center our hearts were touched by the beautiful love that grew between Sandy and Art as they toured New Zealand with Dr. Edward. Her bright spirit and loving ways brought light to all of our hearts.
There will be a memorial service on April 30th at The Center for Spiritual Living, 2075 Occidental Road, Santa Rosa at 1pm. All are welcome.
