Robin Lynn Parker, registered nurse

Robin Lynn Parker, 69, a beacon of love, laughter, and kindness, passed away peacefully at her home in Georgetown Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2025. She was born Dec. 20, 1955, in Milford.

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 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; her half-brother, Jack Thomas of Los Angeles, Calif.; and her grandchildren, Kate, Chance, Miranda and Nathanael Parker, who lovingly called her “Mema” and "Regular Mom-mom." She will be fondly remembered by her extended family and a wide circle of friends.

Funeral services for Robin will be held at 2 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 16, at Short Funeral Services Inc., 416 Federal St., Milton, with a viewing from noon to 2 p.m. Interment will be private.
