In Loving Memory of Robin Terry Glanton
March 3, 1960 – April 14, 2025
Robin Terry Glanton was born on March 3, 1960, in New York to her beloved parents, Robert James and Betty Johnson, both of whom preceded her in death. She spent her early years in Queens and Long Island, attending Roosevelt High School. With a caring spirit and a heart for service, Robin worked as a school bus driver for children with disabilities before relocating with her family to Henderson, Nevada, in 1992, where she remained until her passing.
Robin had a vibrant personality and a deep love for music—especially anything by Al Green. She found joy in playing Words with Friends, where she quickly became a skilled and competitive player. With her trademark sense of humor, she delighted in sharing memes and videos, always aiming to brighten someone else’s day.
Robin faced a long and difficult battle with COPD and other health complications. Despite the challenges, she demonstrated extraordinary resilience, defying expectations and even overcoming hospice care on multiple occasions. Her strength, determination, and ability to push forward in the face of adversity inspired all who knew her.
Robin cherished her family deeply and was always ready to offer help, a kind word, or a laugh. Her stories, quick wit, and beautiful smile will be missed more than words can express.
She is preceded in death by two of her children (Vernett and Michael) and leaves behind to mourn her passing: her loving children Celeste Sowerby, Lynette Jones, and Ryan Glanton; her brother Robert M. James; her sister Roberta James, father-in-law Robert Johnson; and stepsister Kelly Jones. She is also survived by her cherished grandchildren: Anjele and Amari Sowerby, Aalaysia Adams, Josiah Lewis, Chosen Glanton and one great grand child Michael Williams.
Robin’s legacy of love, laughter, and strength lives on in all who knew and loved her.
"She Is Gone"
by David Harkins
You can shed tears that she is gone
Or you can smile because she has lived
You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back
Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her
Or you can be full of the love that you shared
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday
You can remember her and only that she is gone
Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
