Robyn Griffin Hatch passed away peacefully on Sunday, June 22nd, 2025. She was born on August 26th, 1959, in Atlanta, Georgia. She was preceded in death by her father, Marshall Olin Griffin.

Robyn spent the majority of her career as a mental health nurse as an LPN. She attended Randolph Tech in Asheboro, NC for nursing school. Robyn had a gift for art and a passion for helping others. Another favorite of hers was her programs. She was usually unavailable from 12:30 to 1:30 when Young and the Restless was on. Her greatest passion may have been for her husband Dan, always together through whatever was happening. Truly an unconditional love.
Robyn was the first child of Olin & Gayle Griffin. There is something about being the parent of a daughter. Complete irreplaceable love.
She will be greatly missed by those of us who love her, but we rejoice in the fact that she is healed and is facing no more fears.
A celebration of life will be held Friday, June 27th, 2025 at 2:00 PM at Gardner Funeral Home.
