Robin Gilbert Burns
(September 30, 1954 - June 6, 2012)
Robin Gilbert Burns passed away on June 6, 2012 at the age of 57, after a seven and a half year battle with breast cancer.
Robin was born and raised in Lincolnton, North Carolina, but has lived in Houston for 31 years.
Robin is preceded in death by her father, Hal Gilbert and her brother, Larry Gilbert.
She is survived by her loving husband of 36 years, Lawrence Burns; her son, John Burns of Houston, TX, her mother, Johnnie Gilbert of Lincolnton. She is also survived by her nephew, Matthew Gilbert of Johnson City, TN, and sister-in-law, Vicky Gilbert of Lincolnton.
Robin touched the lives of many people. In her work with head-injury patients, she was an extraordinary advocate for her clients, helping them and their families deal with great challenges. One of her coworkers said that she often asks, “What would Robin do?” Robin affected many more people as a Liturgical Musician, playing piano for church services, including many weddings and funerals, since she was 11 years old. Her love of God was reflected in her music, and many people have expressed how deeply Robin moved them through her playing.
Rejoice that Robin is no longer in pain. She is now playing for God with Choirs of Angels.
A graveside service will be held at 2:00 pm on Wednesday, June 13, 2012 at Forest Lawn Cemetery with Rev. Mike Rice officiating. The family will receive friends from 1:00 until 1:45 pm on Wednesday at Warlick Funeral Home.
