She was an active community member, volunteered with literacy programs, and always found time to support her colleagues and friends. Even in her final years, Robin showed grace and courage, facing Alzheimer’s with remarkable dignity.

She is survived by her remarkable, dedicated, devoted husband of 40 years who loyally followed all his vows and promises, Michael Alan White and her buddy Joey; her three children, Michael and his wife Jessica, Nicole and Tiffany; three grandchildren Michael, Hannah, and Harper; her brother Michael and his wife Kristin Magee. Sister in-law Loretta Magee. Three nephews and one niece; George, Matthew, Ryan, and Erica. Also, a multitude of friends and former students who adored her. Robin’s life was a testament to the profound impact a dedicated teacher can have, not just in the classroom, but in the hearts of all she encountered. Robin was preceded in death by her brother George “Butch” Magee and her grandmother Elsie Eschmann.

Family has requested privacy due to the sensitivity of her passing. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Alzheimer’s Association in Robin White’s honor.

Robin White’s legacy endures in every mind she nurtured and every life she touched. She will be deeply missed, but her lessons, compassion, and inspiration live on.
