Obituary: Robin Deirdre Craig (nee Saunders)

'Always an animal lover, from her 4H lamb Tinkerbell to her faithful dog Monroe, cats were always present in her life. She is remembered for her beautiful smile, her kindness, generosity, adventurous spirit and creativity.'

May 24, 1945 - February 7, 2023

Predeceased by her parents George and Marguerite Saunders. Robin is survived by her siblings Peter (Angelika), Maureen, Marguerite, Holly (Ron), Rick (Joanne), Bob, her many nephews, nieces, grand-nephews, grand-nieces, cousins and her long time friend Darrell. 

Born in Winnipeg, Robin spent her childhood and teen years in Cobble Hill, finishing high school at Burnaby South.  After careers in banking and as a stewardess with Air Canada, Robin spent most of her working life as an outside sales representative in the carpet industry in Greater Vancouver, Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast. Always an animal lover, from her 4H lamb Tinkerbell to her faithful dog Monroe, cats were always present in her life. She is remembered for her beautiful smile, her kindness, generosity, adventurous spirit and creativity.

Special thanks to Dr. Murphy and to the staff at Christenson Village for all the care.

In lieu of flowers please consider making a donation to the Heart & Stroke Foundation as it was a stroke 25 years ago that altered Robin’s life forever.

Rest in peace our beautiful Robin.
