Robin Baucom Broome ALBANY — Mrs. Robin Baucom Broome, 50, of Lee County, died Saturday, August 9, 2008 at home surrounded by family and friends following a most courageous battle with breast cancer. Visitation will be held from 4:30 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. today (Monday, August 11, 2008) at First Free Will Baptist Church with memorial services to follow at 6:00 p.m. Brother Billy Hanna will officiate. Robin was born May 17, 1958 in Tampa, Florida and moved to Albany, Georgia at an early age. In life, she loved her church, her family and her friends, but most of all her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Interests included traveling with her family, reading and starting arts and crafts projects. She also enjoyed anything to do with serving and teaching young people, especially teens. Robin attended Dougherty County schools and graduated from Westover High School in 1976. She then attended Darton College, Freewill Baptist College and later in life, Georgia Southwestern University where she earned a degree in education with a focus on high school mathematics. Over the years, Robin held too many jobs to list. It would be easier to list places she did not work. The jobs she had include three that she loved, a chemical sales person for Pro Chem for over nine years, instructor and school owner of Broome’s Tae- Kwon-Do and the last job as a math teacher at Westover High School. Survivors include her husband, Alan Broome; daughters, Tabetha Ragin and Courtney Broome; a beloved son-in-law, David Ragin; a grandson, Blake Alan Ragin; mother and father, Janice and Olen Baucom; a brother and sister-in-law, Paul and Ann Baucom; five nieces and nephews, Hannah, Haley, Aryn, Rhett and Evan Baucom; and one she considered like a daughter, Kelly Cowart Lowe. In lieu of flowers, please make donations in Robin’s memory to, First Free Will Baptist Church, 420 N. Westover Blvd., Albany, GA, 31707, Albany Community Hospice, P.O. Box 1828, Albany, GA, 31702 or to CaringBridge, 1995 Rahn Cliff Court, Suite 200, Eagan, MN, 55122.
