It is with heavy hearts that the family of Robin L. Doughty announces her passing on December 29, 2024 at the age of 52. Born in Rochester, NY on February 24, 1972, Robin was predeceased by her beloved husband, Dennis P. Doughty, a talented plastics engineer.
Robin is survived by her loving parents, Ronald and Rosemarie Warcup of Boynton Beach, Florida, sisters Kristin Santoroski (Joseph) of Frederick, Maryland, Amy Warcup (Barron Naegel) of Rochester New York and nephews Adam and Keegan Santoroski.
As a little girl, Robin enjoyed visiting her Nana in New Jersey and spending quality time with her older sisters on her Grandparents dairy farm near Rome NY. She had so much fun learning to make Hungarian pastries with Nana, taking tractor rides in the pasture with Grandpa and sorting and packing eggs with Grandma.
Robin was an accomplished student who achieved many milestones in her life. She was in the inaugural program for gifted students in Spencerport Central Schools. She graduated from Fairport H.S. in 1990 and went on to obtain her Bachelors degree from SUNY Brockport.
Robin had several jobs before ultimately deciding to continue her education. She worked at Washtenau Community College in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the University of Massachusetts and eventually for Roads Scholar in Boston (formerly Elderhostel) where she developed a keen interest in travel. Robin returned to her studies and in 2010 she earned her Masters Degree from the University of Rochester. Then she went to work helping students at the University of Rochester as the Coordinator for Off Campus Housing.
Robin had many interests and talents. She was an avid reader and birder and loved being fashionable, sometimes even modeling designer dresses at her friends dress shop in Boston. She had a keen interest in art and was a member of the Memorial Art Gallery. Robin would lovingly recall the many cherished trips she took with her husband: notably, honeymooning in Hawaii and trips to Hungary, Germany, Monaco and Grenada.
Robin had a fondness for all animals and she volunteered at several shelters in the Rochester area. She especially loved her two Chow Chow dogs. Over the years, Mr. Seaver and Chou Chou were her constant companions.
Robin had an enormous sweet tooth. She loved everything sweet: desserts of all kinds, ice cream, strawberries, gummy candies and especially Hedonist chocolates!
Robin was a “people person” who made many loyal and devoted friends wherever she lived. She was witty and had a keen sense of humor. She liked having a good time and she was so much fun to be with. She enjoyed taking her parents to unique places: Joe’s Stone Crab in Miami Beach on opening day of stone crab season, the world famous Bronner’s Christmas Wonderland in Michigan and to see the Budweiser Clydesdale horses in New Hampshire.
Robin was a very thoughtful person and always a loving and proud daughter. She regularly sent cards and texts telling her parents how much she loved them, that she was proud to be their daughter and thanked them for a wonderful childhood.
Robin was loved by her family and friends and will be deeply missed. Her courage and resilience will continue to inspire us.
A Memorial celebration of Robin’s life will be held on Saturday, June 7, 2025 at 11AM at First Universalist Church of Rochester, 150 Clinton Avenue South, (corner of Clinton Ave and Court St) Rochester New York.
