Robin Jean Hayes, 48, of Oak Harbor, passed away suddenly at her home on Oct. 11, 2008.

Mrs. Hayes was born Nov. 3, 1959, in Santa Monica, Calif., to David and Donna Boggs. Life growing up and a married life in the Navy took her to all corners of the country before finally making Oak Harbor home in 1991. Robin worked at VFW Post 7392 for 13 years and in that time touched more people than she would ever know. She was also a home care giver for the past year, the perfect position for someone as compassionate and heart-felt as her. Robin was an animal lover from the spider in the corner of the house to the deer she hand fed in the front yard, a true testament to the love she had in her heart. She was known as a caring, outgoing people-person and will be forever missed by her family and many friends.

Robin is survived by her husband Charlie; three children, Jason, Jennifer and Katelyn Iron Moccasin; her mother and step-father, Donna and Ron Hunt; one brother, Ricky Boggs; a grandmother, Tina Steele; and also her ex-husband and good friend, Leon Iron Moccasin. She was preceded in death by her father, David Boggs.

A Memorial Service will be held Tuesday, Oct. 21 at 1 p.m. at Oak Harbor Assembly of God Church, 319 SW 3rd Ave., Pastor Brent Sorlien officiating. A private family urn committal will take place at a later date. Those wishing may make memorials to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Puget Sound Affiliate, 1900 N.
