Robin Ann Washington transitioned on Saturday, January the 8th,

2022. Her final days were spent surrounded by family and friends who Robin

had touched in some small way throughout her short, yet very memorable

lifetime.

Robin's life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by her

understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in

which one lives. Her gentle smile, soft voice, and humble spirit were a joy to

her children.

Robin was born on March 20, 1968, and shortly after was left without her

biological family. When the late Willie and Ophelia Washington lay eyes on

this precious little girl, their spirits were immediately connected and so they

opened their hearts and home to her and became her adopted parents. They

adored Robin and nurtured and cultivated her with the best life had to offer.

She attended Andover high School in Glen Burnie, Maryland and upon

graduation worked briefly in retail. After years of yearning to connect with her

biological siblings, God orchestrated an opportunity for her to embrace her

sister and brother as an adult. Since reconnecting, they have remained close

until her death.

She was preceded in death by her daughter, Caresha Michelle Martin, her

adopted parents Willie and Ophelia Washington. Her life will be remembered

by her family: Sons, Brieyon Martin and Torez Jones, Precious Grandchildren,

Damonie, Zyaire and Zaniya Taylor, Serenity Martin, King and Cartier Jones,

Brother Irvin Washington, Sister-in-law Josephine Washington, Nephew

Rodney Washington, Niece LaKeasha Washington and a host of other family

members and friends.

Only One Mother

Hundreds of stars in the pretty sky,

Hundreds of birds that go singing by,

Hundreds of shells on the shore together,

Hundreds of birds in the sunny weather.

Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,

Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,

Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,

But only one mother the wide world over.
