Obituary of Robin Elaine Butler

Robin Elaine Butler was born on June 25, 1962 in East Meadow, New York to Evelyn Butler and Samuel Gardner whom both preceded her in death. Robin attended and graduated from Freeport High School in 1980. She loved people and had many occupations but fell in love with taking care of people while she worked for many years at South Nassau Community Hospital and then to Nassau Extended Care as a nurses' aide. She became the primary caregiver of her late mother, Evelyn Butler, until her untimely illness in October 2016. Robin was such a loving, person who had the best sense of humor and a smile that could light up the darkest room. She was known to many people as "Robbie". She loved watching her soap operas at 3 o'clock but her favorites shows where "Law and Order" and "In the Heat of the Night". She did this while eating her favorite pretzels, sunflower and/or pumpkin seeds with a tall glass of ice water, a must! She loved the latest songs that came out so she could learn the newest dance moves. Robin was so many different things to so many different people whether it was with her friends of over 40 years or the strangers that she encountered on the street. Robin never complained about anything and if she did she made a joke about it so you didn't even know if she was serious or not. She was truly a kindred spirit and has made a permanent imprint in everyone's heart who was blessed to know and love her. She leaves to mourn her Beloved Partner in Life, Eric Butler; her sisters Jacqueline Townsend, Pamela Butler, Roosevelt, NY; Lena Samuels (Edward)Summerville, SC; Two nieces, Donique Cumberbatch (Mark) Conyers, GA, Raina Townsend Roosevelt, NY; Two great-nieces, Lanique Townsend and Kaori Cumberbatch; Two great-nephews, Saiku Cumberbatch and Bryce McClam; and one great-great niece. Lailani Townsend. She also had a special place in her heart for her niece Cheryl Butler Chaplain (Ernest) Summerville, SC. Robin also leaves a host of many, many close friends.
