Robyn EAST Obituary

I was sad to hear of the passing of Robyn. I particularly remember her love of music and often saw her at the chamber music concerts which we both enjoyed. She always had a smile. Condolences to all her family.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived, with all your cousins down in Canterbury.
Rest easy Robin

My condolences to Robyn´s family. Robyn was a volunteer at the Te Papa Library. She freely gave her expertise and knowledge in her area of original cataloguing. She worked on art exhibition catalogues, no easy task! Her mahi will live on in the Te Papa Library catalogue and WorldCat! I enjoyed our time together, she was very supportive, kind and fun!

Such a shock to hear of Robyn's death. I thought she would out last us all as she was such a good athlete. We shared many happy memories at the National Library and on holidays together.

Robyn's love of swimming stayed with her to the end. We will remember that lovely long strong always. Her crowning glory after her two children, was being number 1 in the world in the 1500m freestyle.

I worked with Robyn for several years at the National Library, from 2007 onwards. I remember her as a very kind person who took great delight in her family. She enjoyed swimming and gardening and was always very well dressed.
