Obituary of Robin Kroeze
Kroeze: Robin Lynn (née Edwards) -
The sudden and unexpected passing of Robin Kroeze, a Dresden resident, on December 18, 2024, at 68, has left us all in shock and disbelief.
Born in Chatham, Robin was the daughter of Joyce (née Letourneau) and the late Beverley Edwards.
Beloved wife of 45 years to Richard "Rick" Kroeze.
Loving mother of Alexander "Alex" Kroeze and Elizabeth "Liz" Neilson; proud grandmother of Dash Neilson, Finnley Neilson, and Caleb Kroeze.
Dear sister to John Edwards and the late William "Bill" Edwards; sister-in-law to Wesley "Wes" Kroeze.
Nieces, nephews, friends and extended family will also miss her.
Robin loved dancing, Disney, cruising, palm trees, cats, and spending every second possible with her grandchildren.
As per Robin's wishes, cremation has taken place. A Celebration of her Life will be held at the McKinlay Reception Centre, 463 St. Clair Street, Chatham on Sunday, February 2, 2025 from 1:00pm - 4:00pm.
The family would appreciate donations made in memory of Robin to the Canadian Cancer Society or Pet and Wildlife Rescue in Chatham.
