Robin Serena Lyn passed away peacefully surrounded by family on March 18, 2018 in Lewiston, Maine. She was the daughter of Charles W. and Jean P. Clark, and was born on June 11, 1955. Robin lived a life of love, adventure and compassion. She grew up on the family farm in Brunswick, Maine and graduated in 1973 from Brunswick High School. She attended Bates College and later earned a degree in English at New Mexico State University.

Robin had a broad range of interests, talents and experiences: she was an au pair in England, worked with troubled teens in New Hampshire, danced classical ballet and flamenco, played bass guitar in a rock band in New York City performed recitals on the classical violin, climbed rock faces and ice walls in the Rockies, and explored caves in the Southwest. She was a writer and a photographer, she co-owned ACT Ambulance, formed “Robin’s Nest” that made and sold personal care products, and she tutored students in math and English. She raised her family primarily in Lewiston, Maine but she loved to travel the country in their RV, sharing her love of the outdoors with her children, especially the Everglades, the Rockies, Grand Canyon and White Sands. She lived at various times in New York City, Ouray, Colorado, in a rustic cabin near Couldcroft, NM and in Alamogordo, NM. Most recently she lived in Louisville, Kentucky.

All who knew Robin knew her to be one of the friendliest, most lovely, most compassionate persons they ever met. She would literally drive off a road while trying to save a bee; she would offer and provide help to anyone who needed it.

Greatest of all her joys were her six wonderful children, and her four grandchildren: daughter Leiza and her husband Rob Greenwood of Tiburon, CA and their son Camden of San Diego; daughter Tabitha and her husband Easton Wheatley and their daughter Skye of Lewiston, ME; son Nicholas Biron of Lewiston; daughter Sabria Ingram and her husband Alex and their two children of Louisville, KY; son Cruz Berrisford of Louisville, KY; and son Blake Berrisford of Alamogordo, NM.

She is also survived by her mother, Jean Clark of Brunswick, ME; brother Bruce Clark also of Brunswick; brother Chad Clark and his wife Carol of Readfield, ME and their son Matthew and his wife Amy, together with their two children of Topsham, ME, and their daughter Sarah and her husband Alex Kapiloff of Surry, NH; and brother Jon Clark and his wife Joyce of Woolwich, ME.

No immediate service is planned. Condolences may be sent directly to family members, or donations may be made in memory of Robin to your favorite charity or to Friends of the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge via the website http:www.friendsofthebosque.org/.
