I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Robbie in the APA National office from 2004-2006. Robbie was a very devoted business woman with a kind and warm personality that emited outward to her peers as well as strangers. Family was especially important to Robbie and her love for her sisters June and Faye, and extended family was so apparent. I know all of the Directors and members of the APA will greatly miss the Icon that was the glue that held it all together! My prayers to Family, Colleagues and Friends for the loss of such a beautiful, classy woman. Andi Jones Ritchie

June, Faye, and all of Robbie’s Family: I had the pleasure of meeting Robbie and Bill when I joined APA shortly after graduating from polygraph school in Dec 75. Like most “youngsters” going into a new profession, we seek guidance from those people we learn are respected, knowledgeable, and have gained the trust of others in the profession. Robbie was such a person. Robbie was always one of the beautiful “ladies” who had the knowledge, took you under her wing, and never lead you astray. I know she loved her job, the APA, and all of use with whom she came in contact. We all love you Robbie, you will always be in our hearts and thoughts, and I will miss you. Ed Sneed Centralia, MO

Dear Robbie was my best friend for more than 16 years. I was able to spend several nights with her during her last three weeks on this earth. Monday evening, 9 nights before she passed, when Lisa came over, Robbie told her she was ready to turn the entire office over and she got to Lisa to change the emails and voice mails and remove them from Robbie’s phone right then. Robbie always said that would be the last thing she did, and she did it that evening. That night she went to sleep around 7pm and slept until 11:48am Tuesday morning and back to sleep about 2 in the afternoon until 4am the next morning. We could not even wake her up to give her pills for pain. That next day when she did not wake up, I knew it was time for me to go. There was nothing else I could do. I went there to spend time with her, and we had that time during the last three weeks and three trips. The sisters invited the entire family to arrive on Friday and my original flight was not scheduled to leave until Saturday, so another reason for me to depart earlier than planned. With Robbie sleeping that much (I kept checking to make sure she was still breathing), I made another flight to depart Wednesday morning at 7. I worried all night about her not waking up and not having the opportunity to say goodbye to her. Here is the good part – I got up at 4 Tuesday morning to get ready to leave and make coffee and stood in Robbie’s doorway in the dark to just look at her and heard her say “good morning, Sue”. I went and sat beside her and held her hand and kissed her and told her that I had to get back to work and would be leaving there in an hour for the airport. She said she understood and asked me about the big order from the day before and wished me best of luck on that, and we just chatted for a while about great people she'd known in polygraph that had sent heartfelt cards and beautiful flowers to her. . She reminded me to remind Chris about how to get our free banquet meal tickets (dear Robbie -always doing nice things for other people). I told her I still had the original half of my airline ticket and could come back whenever she asked me to, and she said she would let me know when. I hugged and kissed her and told her I loved her and she said “I love you too, honey.” As I walked out, I said “I love you more” and she laughed and said “No, I love you more” and I said “I’ll see you soon, Robbie” and she said “I’ll be waiting” and I left…. The bawling started when I walked out the front door. But I could not have asked for a more beautiful goodbye from my dear friend. Her sister said Robbie went back to sleep after I left, and has slept most of the time since then and is deteriorating quickly…Lisa went by the next afternoon and said Robbie woke up momentarily and was very confused and went back to sleep… Thank you God, for that precious time with my dear friend Robbie. We will always love you Robbie!!!!!

Robbie was certainly a wonderful and sweet person. She leaves behind so many great memories for all who knew her. We are praying for her family, especially June and Faye, who loved her so much. She was truly a blessing to so many people. We pray that God will just wrap his loving arms around this family and keep them in his care always. Love and Blessings,
