Robin Gale Turnage Rowe, 58, passed away on Wednesday, December 13, 2023, at her home in Clarkesville, Georgia.
A devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, there was nothing she treasured more on this earth than her family and friends. She met the love of her life, Corbin, while she was in nursing school at The College of Charleston (he was a Cadet at The Citadel) and earlier this month, they celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary where it all began. Her greatest joy was being a mom to Maddie, Rebecca, Olivia, & Jack. She was their biggest fan cheering them on in all their endeavors. Most recently, she relished being a grandmother to her grandson, Abdul, and mother-in-law to Hassan.
Robin was a dedicated surgical nurse of 36 years, working initially at Northside Hospital, with the past ten years being at Habersham Medical Center and Northeast Georgia Medical Center. As a breast cancer survivor, Robin was able to serve her patients with an extra measure of compassion and empathy. She loved spending time on the water and didn’t care if it was the beach or the lake as long as there was a sunset. She was always the life of the party and first on the dance floor. As a red-headed, Southern girl from Dillon, South Carolina, Robin could be feisty but genuinely loved people and was a friend to many.
Robin would tell you that her first love was Jesus. She shared her faith in her Savior through her works, on mission trips, Bible studies, being a prayer warrior, fixing meals, or just simply reaching out to friends to bless their day. She longed for the day she would meet Him face to face and openly stated that she was ready when He was. She began each day sitting in her comfy chair, studying God’s word and praying over those she loved. Her Bible was her greatest earthly possession.
Robin is preceded in death by her parents, Carolyn & CR Turnage, mother-in-law Rebecca Treadway, & her granddaughter, Hedaya.
She is survived by her husband, Corbin; her daughters, Maddie (Hasson Ghoz), Rebecca, & Olivia; her son, Jack, & grandson, Abdul. She is also survived by her sister, Cheryl (Luke Barefoot); brothers, Michael (Helen), & Bruce (Sherrie); sisters-in-law, Ann (Brad Flack), Susan Rowe, Mandy (Jason Scherer), & Katie Treadway; fathers-in-law, David Rowe & Bruce Treadway; and a host of nieces & nephews.
A Celebration of Robin’s Life will be held at 3:00 p.m. Friday, December 22, 2023, at Level Grove Baptist Church. A reception for family & friends will be held immediately following the service.
