Robyn received her GED from TCU in Fort Worth Texas in 1976 and her CNA certification in Carthage, MO in 2005. She worked as a CNA in the Alzheimer’s unit for 15 years and eventually bought Pat’s Books & Crafts in 2005 and ran it until the decline of her health in 2021 when she moved back to Texas to be with her family.
