Vale

Robyn Atherton (Love, 1946)  25/4/46 – 8/2/23

Robyn was an incredible mother and daughter, a wonderful friend, and an amazing individual.

After many fun years at PLC, Robyn trained at Sydney Teacher’s College to become a primary teacher.

Robyn spent the majority of her early years as a primary school teacher in various schools in NSW, Victoria, and Queensland.  Robyn and her husband Michael moved to Camden in the 1970s as owners of the local newsagency.  It was in Camden where she raised her 2 children. Running a small business like this was challenging, especially with 2 small children, yet Robyn made it work.  After moving back to Sydney she spent many years as a Kindergarten Teacher and Assistant around the North Shore area.

She really enjoyed being a teacher and helping kids learn and grow. Sadly she was forced to give up teaching when Covid struck.  Robyn was all about family and friends. She was very proud of her 2 children and her 5 grandchildren.

Gone too soon.  We love her and miss her very much.
