Robin Kennedy Obituary

Robin Denise Kennedy FLORENCE, SC - Robin Denise Kennedy, 32, of Florence and formerly of Mt. Pleasant, SC, went to her heavenly home on Saturday, May 1, 2010, after an extended illness. Robin was born in Georgetown, SC, the precious daughter of Rev. Stan and Sharon Kennedy. She is a 1995 graduate of Wando High School in Mt. Pleasant. She graduated from Florence-Darlington Technical College, where she was inducted into Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. She also attended Emmanuel College in Franklin Springs, GA, and Limestone College in Florence. She was pursuing a career in social work. One of Robin's greatest joys was sharing her passion for God through children's ministries. She served many years as a Missionettes teacher and youth camp counselor as well as a nursery worker. Children loved "Miss Robin" as much as she loved them. Robin was also a talented singer and an inspiration to everyone she met. She was always ready to share her testimony and faith in the Lord, which never wavered. She was preceded in death by her paternal grandfather, Rev. Paul S. Kennedy. Surviving are her parents of the home; siblings, Rev. Jay (Jennifer) Kennedy and Shelly Kennedy, both of Columbia; paternal grandmother, Mrs. Doris Kennedy of Asheboro, NC; maternal grandparents, Rev. and Mrs. James R. McNeill of Charleston; three nephews, Jason, Christopher and Tyler; a niece, Rachel and a host of loving aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Memorials may be made to the Christian Assembly Church Missions Fund or to the Children's Ministries, 401 Pamplico Highway, Florence, SC 29505. Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m., Wednesday, May 5, 2010, in Christian Assembly Church. Burial will follow in Florence Memorial Gardens directed by STOUDENMIRE-DOWLING FUNERAL HOME. The family will receive friends from 6 - 8 p.m., Tuesday, at the funeral home. Visit our guestbook at www.postandcourier.com/deaths

May the Lord continue to watch over you and yours. I went to Emmanuel College with your daughter Robin and I will always remember that "laugh". She was a very strong young lady and had an awesome testimony. My fondest and dearest memory of Robin was when she went to try out for the EC Singers. She was so nervous! We all prayed for her and told her she would make it and she did!! She was so excited!! I will miss her dearly.
