Robin Annette Gresham Wood passed away in her home among family and friends Tuesday, January 6, 2015 at the age of 49. After five months of battling cancer, chemotherapy, and hospital trips Robin laid down her sword and gave it to us to live out her inspirational legacy.
Visitation was last evening from 6 – 9 at Faith Church. The funeral service will be today, Friday, January 9, 2015 at 2 p.m. at Faith Church with Henry Melton and Bill Barlow officiating. Burial will follow in Greenview Memorial Park.
Robin was preceded in death by her grandparents, Marvin and Barbara Gresham, Crite and Grace Fields; mother-in-law, Sherrin Wood.
She is survived by her husband, Gil; children, Ben, Daniel, and Emily; parents, Brenda and Ray “Red” Gresham; brothers, Greg and Rusty Gresham; sisters, Janet Gresham Barlow, and Stacy Gresham Suggs.
From the very beginning of Robin’s parenthood, Christ was the foundation of her family. Her faith did not wither when she found out that she was sick and even more true to her very last breath. Cancer is an ugly, terrible disease and Robin found a way to be a beacon of light on the darkest of days. Every person that she met knew that she was different. Robin always put others happiness before her own. She would do anything she could to make people smile because when everyone else was happy, it made her happy. Robin was one of a kind and loved her family and children above all else. She was an irreplaceable sister, aunt, mother, wife and friend. Do not weep for her loss but rejoice for the amazing life that she lived.
Pallbearers will be Matthew Gresham, Michael Peter, Spenser Suggs, Patrick Gresham, Sturat Suggs, and Bill Barlow.
