Robin Kathyrn Fulkerson, 57, passed away on March 25, 2025 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Her life is best remembered by all the lives she touched with her positive energy, kindness, strong spirit and love she showed even – or especially – on her toughest days. Everyone was happier just being around Robin. She looked out for you. She made the world a better place.

Robin’s love is best shown through her beloved son, Cameron Benjamin Fulkerson. She is also survived by her sister Tiffany Roget, nephew Nicholas Roget-King and brother-in-law Jason Koskimaki. Robin’s love is also survived through her close bond to all her dearest friends who are also family, including Kim Ferry and Danny Oliver, who knew her longest and best. And of course, Lola, a vivacious French Bulldog loved by all.

Robin was born and grew up in St. Petersburg, Florida where as children she and Tiffany most enjoyed being outside, often being “shooed” by their mother out of the house. She kept a picture of her mother on her bedroom wall to always remember her. Robin also spent a good amount of time in Michigan where Detroit became Cameron’s hometown sports team. Returning to Florida, they eventually found a home in the East Lake Woodlands community in Oldsmar that will continue to be a loving home for Cameron..

Robin chose to have her life celebrated by all who were lucky to have known her. Robin was the neighbor everyone hoped to have. She was loved and appreciated by coworkers, customers and patients alike. You were lucky to call Robin a friend. Those closest to her were considered family. Remember and cherish your favorite stories about Robin. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

When others would smile, Robin giggled. She had a closet full of fun t-shirts. Dinners at her house, you left with to-go containers. She left the TV on for Lola during the day especially when nobody was home. She went to extra effort to do special things for those closest to her. Especially when things were most difficult, such as during stressful Covid-19 lockdowns, she would still find a way to make your day brighter such as with an elaborate surprise birthday celebration for friends. She was great at making people happy and brightening their days.

Robin loved holidays. Every year she watched Christmas movies on her couch with her Hallmark Christmas movie blanket and kept track of all the movies she watched with a printed out checklist. She loved celebrating Halloween just as much or even more and wore elaborate costumes to the Annual Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot.

Robin had a work ethic worth celebrating. She was always on top of things. She understood the value of every dollar earned and saved, a value that lives on with Cameron. She worked her way through college tending bar full-time while earning her nursing degree. Robin stood out as a Registered Nurse where she helped people in need.

Robin's faith strengthened over the years – something Cam was proud of her for. They both revere St. Peregrine, the Patron Saint of Cancer Patients of which Cameron wears a pendant of. He also cherishes the cross his mother gave him that he wears around his neck. Robin participated in three Bible study groups where she nurtured both her faith and cherished friendships. She believed angels could manifest in even the simplest forms in nature like within a beautiful cardinal. On dark days Robin still saw light.

Robin fought cancer ten times. It did not deter her from going to work, keeping active and always being there for everyone dearest and closest to her. Through it all she enjoyed activities she loved with people she loved including amusement parks, sporting events, favorite restaurants, horror movies, road trips, travelling to far away places, mimosas at brunches and parties with friends.

Cancer also did not deter Robin from being there for Cam during important, formative years. She helped him maneuver through life pushing him when he needed to be pushed and supporting him when he needed support. Cameron attests that him graduating from college is his mother’s biggest accomplishment. She learned about a big planned promotion for Cameron before passing, proud mother to the end.

Those closest to Robin will cherish the memories the most but also cherish gifts they got from her over the years. Some will choose their own unique special keepsakes to honor her memory. Another example, a blanket will be made from Robin’s favorite shirts. Her SUV will be lovingly adopted by family who will continue to take it on trips in her spirit. A planned commemorative bench and newly planted tree will honor Robin’s memory near Cameron’s home.

Of all the tributes to Robin’s life, the most fitting carries on in her son, Cameron. Cameron knows in his heart his mother had the strength to valiantly fight cancer so many times out of the need to look out for him until they both were ready. Cameron’s mother had fulfilled her role as a loving parent as he was fully able to take care of himself, and she was finally ready to go to a better place. Robin left us too soon, but it was her time. She and Cameron will remain forever best friends, and he knows in his heart that she will continue to look out for him.

Robin will continue to look out for everyone she holds dear.
