Shortly after their marriage her husband returned to active duty, and she traveled with him as he served. Robbie was an active volunteer, serving in the Family Readiness Groups and in both the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of America. Her dedication as a mother shaped the lives of her adoring children.

Robbie was avid reader and was always looking for new and intellectually stimulating subjects. Her drive to learn is a continuing source of inspiration in the lives of her children, who are her greatest legacy.
