Obituary

Funeral services for Roberta "Robin" Hay Edwards, formerly of Fostoria were held Tuesday, January 9, 2007, at St. Maria Goretti Catholic Church, in Arlington, Texas. Following cremation, Mrs. Edwards was buried in the beautiful Peace Garden beside the church.

Robin was born in California on Dec. 8, 1943, and died on December 31, 2006 following a heroic five-year battle with cancer.

She was a 1961 graduate of St. Wendelin High School and started her English teaching career after graduating from Bowling Green State University in 1965. She taught in several states before moving to Texas where she received a master's degree in social work. Robin became a caseworker and later a supervisor for the Texas Child Welfare Division in Amarillo, Texas. After moving to Ft. Worth, Texas, she became a counselor for the state working primarily with drug addiction cases. She moved on to a successful private counseling practice before ending her career back in the teaching field. She taught English for the past several years at the Meacham Middle School in Ft. Worth where she was an inspiration to her coworkers and students. Robin enjoyed traveling to Ohio, California and New Mexico to visit many family members and enjoyed cruising with her husband, Troy, in the Caribbean. Her favorite pastime activities were sewing, cross-stitching and entertaining the children of the family.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Marjorie and Frederick Hay, who were also formerly of Fostoria, before relocating to Texas in the 1980s.

Survivors are her husband, Troy, of Mansfield, Texas; sisters, Bonnie (Richard) Spieldenner of Albion, Maine and Cheryl (Richard) O'Brien of Ennis, Texas; brothers, Frederick (Diann) Hay of Fostoria and James (Wendy) Hay of Waxahachie, Texas; an aunt, Betty Lou (Dale) Forbess and many nieces, nephews and cousins. Surviving stepchildren include Troy B. Edwards, Shannen Allen, adopted daughters Valary (Phillip) Friedberg and Melissa (Greg) Edwards Owen, two grandchildren.

Robin's inspirational journey through life has touched the hearts of many, especially those she loved the most, her family. A memorial service is being planned in Fostoria at a later date. Memorials may be made to the American Cancer Society or St. Wendelin Education Foundation in Robin's name.
