Robin Marie Purdy

Robin Marie Purdy, 37, of Sardinia, passed away Sunday, Sept. 3, 2023 after a year of living with colon cancer. 
 
She was born Oct. 17, 1985 in Georgetown to Andrew Mark and Sandra Kay (Ellis) Purdy, Sardinia.
 
Robin was a 2004 graduate of Eastern High School, a 2008 graduate from Miami University in Oxford and earned a master’s in education from Ohio Dominican University in 2011. A lifelong learner, in 2020, she also received her TESOL endorsement (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). In 2019, Robin traveled to Morocco as a recipient of the Fulbright Teachers for Global Classrooms Scholarship.

Outside of her passion for learning, Robin loved to read, write, dance, travel and bask in the sunshine wherever she was. But more than anything else, she loved her family, friends, students, church and community. She poured her heart and soul into those she knew and loved, and she was beloved by many.

Robin was preceded in death by her maternal grandfather, Jimmy Ralph Ellis.
