Robin Lee Goldstein, 49 Robin Lee Goldstein, known to many as “Rockin’ Robin”, was born on August 26, 1964. She was the beautiful wife of Andrew Goldstein and beloved daughter of Margaret Haney. Her most treasured roles were that of being a mother to her two children, Candice Lee Vallandingham-Adam and Robert Boothe Vallandingham, and Granna to her grandson, Jamison David Adam. Her family grew to include her son-in-law, Nick Adam, and her daughter-in-law, Natasha Mills. And who could forget, Robin’s little Chihuahua, Lacey Girl, deemed a third child. She passed on March 11, just before the birth of her next two grandchildren. Robin had a successful career with the U.S. Government for 22 years, but her most recent passion was the work she did for Walden Sierra’s Beacon of Hope. She committed wholeheartedly to her sobriety and found fulfillment in helping others pursue theirs. She was also a dedicated Avon representative, winning awards for her prolific sales. For recreation in her younger days, she played women’s softball and pool league. Robin loved her family, her friends, and her AA family. She was the glue that held people together. She came to love life in a great, big way. Those who were lucky enough to know her, felt her enthusiasm and boundless energy. She has forever changed the lives of so many. She will be greatly missed, but the love and compassion she shared will continue to live on in the lives of those she touched.
