The Martha s Vineyard Times
Robin Schoener, 67, of Oak Bluffs, died on Feb. 3, 2021, after a long and valiant fight with cancer. Robin grew up in Western New York, and after living in several other countries including Egypt, Belgium, and Brazil, settled in Boston.
Robin came to Martha’s Vineyard in 2016 to take care of her friend Bob Jacobs in his last days. After his death, she decided to retire to Martha’s Vineyard permanently because of the loving friends and community that she took comfort in. She joined the Community Choir and the Island Grown Gleaning Initiative.
She also enjoyed being a member of the Bend in the Road Book Club. Robin loved getting to know the Island, and with her close group of friends she enjoyed many outings to all the Island events before she became ill. She was talented on many levels, including weaving, needle point and singing.
