Robin was born May 21, 1957, to Donald Cable and Yvonne (Moody) Stephens in Huron, SD. She was the oldest of four siblings, Donna, Brenda, Sarah, and Bert. Β She grew up in Ree Heights, Pierre, and Oklahoma. The family made their way back to Ree Heights, where they started up a restaurant in Highmore.

At the age of 15 in 1972, Robin met Randy in Ree Heights and was married in June of 1974. They proceeded to take over the restaurant in Highmore. They also ran two bars later on, where you could see three boys riding around on their tricycles. Those boys were Shane, Eric, and Cody.

In 1980, the family moved to Miller, where Robin did numerous jobs throughout the years. From working at the nursing home, managing the convenience stores and the Virginian, and owning Bob’s Drive In. Also running a rural mail route, where she loved to carry candy and hand out to children along the way. Her last job was riding the mower at the cemetery and getting a tan.

Her boys might have given her a few heart attacks, but they were absolutely the highlight of her life, along with her eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Her pastime favorites were fishing, camping, cooking, eating popsicles, and carving pumpkins with the grandchildren.

One of her traditions was getting scratch tickets at Christmas for everyone. She loved watching the family scratch and see who won. One of her last items she loved to do was teaching the great-grandchildren how to cook and even wash dishes.

Robin is survived by husband, Randy; children: Shane (Kimberly), Eric (Sarah), and Cody (Summer); grandchildren: Samantha, Xavier (Medora), Hunter, Isabella, Paige, Caden, Emma and Elias; great-grandchildren: Thaddeus and Jaxson; sisters: Donna (Lyle-partner), Brenda (Robert), Sarah (Brent); brother, Bert (Summer); sister-in-law, Trudy; and many nieces and nephews.

Robin is preceded in death by her parents, Donald Cable and Yvonne and Bill Stephens; parents-in-law, Gerald and Melvina (Hirsch) Sporrer; brother-in-law, Kevin Sporrer; andΒ  sisters-in-law, Tess Sporrer and Diane Dassinger.

Reck Funeral Home of Miller has been entrusted with Robin’s arrangements.

  3. Peggy Schuette Schlechter says:

    Oh dear Robin, I just really did not think it was your time and I’m not ready to let you go. Thank you so much for those telephone conversations after we lost Caleb. I will always treasure the memories I have of them. You were such an angel on earth for Caleb and no doubt he was there in Heaven with wide open arms to greet you. Heaven is even a more wonderful place now with you there. As you said to me once, this is a tough pill to swallow. You and all your kindness will never ever be forgotten.

  7. I am so sorry Uncle Randy. I was just getting to know her. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.

  8. Robin, we just didn’t have enough time. In the two years we knew each other, it was like we had known each other forever. We loved our lunches and visits, there just weren’t enough of them. Such a special friend you were. Randy and boys, you sure had a good one. Much love.

  9. Randy & family, I am so very sorry to see this & I surely wish I could have words to ease your pain! Robin put up an AMAZING fight!!! I am lifting all who love Robin in my prayers & ask you to be comforted. Love doesn’t die, so let your memories help carry you through your grief.

  10. Randy, we are so sorry for our loss. We know there are no words that help, so treasure all the happy memories and the many pictures. We love you and send you tons of love and prayers.

  11. I cant believe that shes gone. I will never see my great aunty again because of cancer. I never got the chance to say good bye to her. The good lord is now peacefully resting her soul and soon she will forever live under the light of jesus. As ”Romans 8:38-8.39”, says: For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

  12. Dear Randy, boys and your families,
    Am so glad that we had the opportunity to get to know Robin better over this past couple of years. She was one great gal and Melvin and I would do anything for you two. I just feel so blessed that I got to speak to her at the hospital here in Miller the evening before she slipped away from us. She was a real trooper and brought so hard. I feel awful that I will be gone on a trip and won’t be able to come to her funeral. Just know that she is flying high with the angels and is no longer in pain.
    Love and prayers to all of you from Melvin and Debbie B.
