Robin Blackburn's Obituary
Robin Blackburn, 69, of Charlotte, passed away on Wednesday, November 1, 2023. She was born on January 8, 1954, in Jersey City, New Jersey to the late Albert and Teresa Farnes. Robin was a member of St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church. While Robin wore many hats in her professional career, she spent the majority of her career in the travel and airline industry most notably for Piedmont Airlines.
Until recently Robin was very active in her local community. She enjoyed traveling and her greatest joy was spending time with her family, especially her four grandchildren. Robin spent her childhood and most of her professional life in the south Florida area. She developed a strong love for the Florida shore and spent many hours reading and enjoying life on the beach.
Robin is survived by her husband of 32 years, Gary Blackburn; two bonus children, Zach (Kerri) and Hillary (Mandy) Blackburn; grandchildren, Dylan, Brody, Stella, and Colton; sister, Vanessa Farnes; brothers, Wayne Farnes and Warren Farnes; god children, Alisa and Francesca; and many loving nieces, nephews, and cousins.
A celebration of life will be held at a later time.
