ROGERS — Shelly Lynn Robbins

was born Feb. 27, 1971, at Washington Regional Medical Center. She was a fraternal twin with her wombmate Sherry.

She grew up in Fayetteville, Ark., and graduated Fayetteville High School in 1989. She attended the University of Arkansas and later NWACC. In 1991 she had her first son, Spencer Franklin. She met Steve Sisco and there was a brief marriage. Upon the end of their time together, she graduated NWACC as a Respiratory Therapist and met her current husband Randy Robbins and moved to Rogers, Ark.

Shelly changed jobs and became the manager of a few stores, worked for Sam’s Club Corporation office, then got into hospitality sales and management which she truly loved.

She has another son, Wyatt Robbins. She lost her first son Spencer and adopted her grandson Kallen Robbins. She was a great wife and, as her son Wyatt proclaimed, the textbook definition of Mom. She was always helping friends and family and never met a stranger. Life was great with her; ask anyone about her sunny disposition and bubbly positive attitude. She was often late to any and all engagements she had because she was always on the phone or in someone’s corner.

If you knew Shelly you know she was a bit accidentprone. On our latest vacation, she tripped and fell injuring herself. Little did I know this would start the last 39 days she was with us. She suddenly succumbed to an unexpected blood clot the morning of Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2020, at home with her family present. Twenty-five years knowing her was not enough. Shelly was an angel on earth as I know she is in heaven.

Shelly was preceded in death by her son, Robert “Spencer” Franklin.

Shelly is survived by her father, Perry Franklin, and her mother Bobbie Wilson; husband, Randy Robbins; sons, Wyatt and Kallen Robbins; and sister, Sherry Tisdale.

Visitation will be held 5 p. m. till 8 p. m., Wednesday, Dec. 16, 2020, at Benton County Memorial Park Funeral Home. Graveside service will be held 2 p.m., Thursday, at Round Mountain Cemetery in Goshen, Ark., with Pastor Scott Allen officiating.

Arrangements by Benton County Memorial Park Funeral Home, Rogers, Ark.

In lieu of flowers, the family request donations be made to Shelly Robbins Memorial Fund at First Security Bank.
