Robin Grunwell, 1968-2006, Robin was an amazing woman who was much loved by her family and friends. After high school she served in the U.S. Air Force and went on to work as an office manager and in human resources after leaving the military. Robin never married or had children so she dedicated her time and energy to serving her community and helping the needy. She was the former president of the Daytona Beach Jaycees and later the Orlando Jaycees. She also held various other leadership roles on the state board of the Florida Jaycees (the Junior Chamber of Commerce). In 2005, she was awarded the prestigious title of Senator by the Florida Jaycees for her many years of community service and sacrifices in behalf of the organization.

Robin could best be described as bold, opinionated, funny, loud and strong willed. She was always the life of the party but she also had a softer side that revealed how much she cared about people. Robin organized many community service projects and helped raise thousands of dollars each year for charity. Her example inspired other Jaycee members to volunteer their time and resources generously as well.

Robin smoked from age 17 until age 27. She hadn't smoked for ten years before developing lung cancer in 2005. Her treatment seemed to neutralize the cancer but it just came back stronger a few months later. Robin fought bravely until the very end. She was a great friend, leader and humanitarian and those who knew her can't wait to see her again in heaven.
