Robin Lynn Parker

Robin Lynn Parker, a beacon of love, laughter, and kindness, passed away peacefully in her Georgetown, DE, home on January 8, 2025, at the age of 69. She was born on December 20, 1955, in Milford, DE.

In her professional life, Robin was a respected Registered Nurse at Milford Memorial Hospital, where she cared for patients with the same unwavering dedication she gave to her family. Her colleagues remember her as both a mentor and a friend with an ever-ready smile and a helping hand.

Robin’s interests were as broad as her heart. In her younger years, she cultivated a love for cooking, a passion she lovingly passed down to her children. An avid traveler, she explored all over the country throughout her life. She also loved the beach and spent countless summer days with her feet in the sand and surf. A huge Broadway fan, Robin saw 19 musicals in person, each one leaving an indelible mark on her spirited soul.

Robin was preceded in death by her parents, Norman H. Thomas and Carol (Buhl) Thomas; cousin Thom Lawson; and sister-in-law Dolly Parker.

A devoted mother, loving sister, and doting grandmother, Robin's family was her pride and joy. She leaves behind her beloved children, Charles "Chuck" (Cheri) Parker of Atlanta, GA, Melissa Parker of Georgetown, and Nathan Parker (Jessica) of Millsboro; her sister Michele Geurin (Joe) of Georgetown, and her half-brother Jack Thomas of Los Angeles, CA; and her grandchildren, Kate, Chance, Miranda, and Nathanael Parker, who lovingly called her “Mema” and "Regular Mom-mon". She will be fondly remembered by her extended family and a wide circle of friends.
