Robyn Patricia BARNES

Robyn Patricia BARNES (nee Mackenzie)


21.6.1957 – 3.6.2011

Loved wife of Jeff. Daughter of Patricia and Brian (dec). Sister of Andrew and Harley. Sister-in-law of Mandy and Karen and Auntie of Angus, Zac, Sophie,
Alexander, James and Avery.
You were our calm head, our place of reason, our fairness to all. All who knew you walked away better people for having shared the time. You lived your life with dignity.
A life enjoyed but far too short. We watched you muster all of your strength to fight a long illness. Never complaining, never bitter, until there was finally nothing left to give. There is a hole in our hearts that will never be filled.



My dear wife, you were not just my partner, you guided me into adulthood and showed me everything the world could offer. You were always there working hard to ensure we would achieve both our shared and personal dreams. It really was a privilege to walk beside you.
Take care, Lucy.
Love Jeff.

I felt sad and started to cry. Alone in another country, far away from my family. I suddenly felt more alone than ever before. A part of our family has gone. I love Robyn and will miss her dearly. (I dont even want to use the past tense because I still love her). I will miss her brilliant mind and sharp wit. I will miss
her patience, understanding
and kindness. I will miss her smile and laughter. Robyn was the real deal.
Love from your
brother-in-law E.
