"Remembering Robin"
In Loving Memory of Robin Anderson 
01/13/65 - 12/20/24 

Our team will be participating in PanCAN's PurpleStride event on Saturday, April 26, 2025 in NYC to end pancreatic cancer. PurpleStride participants raise money to fund vital research that can bring new treatment options to patients; free, personalized, one-to-one support through PanCAN Patient Services; and more. ​Our team is raising money in honor of Robin Anderson, who lost her two year battle with pancreatic cancer this past December. A donation of any size will help patients and families facing a pancreatic cancer diagnosis. 

Robin Anderson, 59, of Yorktown Heights, New York, passed away peacefully at home on December 20, 2024, surrounded by her loving family. Born on January 13, 1965, in Yonkers, NY, Robin was raised in Cortlandt Manor and had been a resident of Yorktown for the past 34 years. 

A graduate of Walter Panas High School, Robin demonstrated remarkable determination and resilience by working full-time at the Post Office while pursuing higher education in the evenings. Her dedication paid off as she earned a bachelor's degree from Mercy College, followed by a Master's in Education from Long Island University. 

Robin was a cornerstone of the educational community, dedicating 24 years to nurturing young minds at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School in Yorktown. Her passion for teaching was matched only by her devotion to her students, whom she inspired daily with her thoughtfulness and wisdom. 

At home, Robin was a loving wife to her husband of 34 years, Mitchell. They were best friends and soulmates, sharing a love that many could only dream of. Together, they raised two wonderful children, Taylor and Mickey. Robin cherished spending time with her family and enjoyed gardening, reading, and traveling. She always had a sweet tooth and room for dessert. 

Those who knew Robin will remember her as the embodiment of love and generosity. Her thoughtful nature shone through in every interaction, every smile, and every lesson she imparted. Robin's legacy is one of compassion, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to the well-being of others. 

Robin is survived by her husband, Mitchell; her children, Taylor and Mickey (Emily); her dog, Whiskey; her parents, Robert and Sara Kardash; her brother, Michael Kardash (Donna); and her sister, Wendy Lang (James). 

Let’s show everyone impacted by pancreatic cancer that we’re fighting for them – thank you for your support! :)
