Robyn was born August 23, 1966 to born to Dianne Dominick (Alcorn) and Edward Ritchie in California. She attended Ottawa Township High School class of 1984. Robyn was a free spirit who found joy in sunshine, the beach, and the open road. But above all, she loved her grandson Liam more than anything in the world. Being a mother and grandmother was her greatest joy-her time with Liam was full of memories, laughter, and unconditional love.

She is survived by her loving children, daughter Kyleigh Allen, son Jesse Ritchie, and her grandson Liam. She also leaves behind her sisters D’Andra Ritchie, her children Joseph Bagwell, Chad Meyer, and Katie Ritchie (Corey); and Danielle (Craig) Lock, their children Brandan Le Rette, Jillian Lock, and Ethan Lock. Robyn is also survived by her father Dean Alcorn, two great-nieces, one great-nephew, and many others who loved her deeply.

Robyn lived with generosity, and her final act of kindness was her decision to be an organ donor-a choice that reflects the love and compassion she carried throughout her life.

A Celebration of Life will be held on her birthday August 23, 2025. Details to follow.

Robyn’s light, laughter, and love will be missed always but never forgotten.
