She was preceded in death by her parents and brother-in-law.
Robyn was born Sept. 13, 1958, in Perry, Iowa, the daughter of Richard and Mary Dooley Jensen. She was a 1976 graduate of Perry High School. Shortly after high school, she married Tom Bugbee, the father of the two most important men in her life, Adam and Seth. Later, she was blessed with her daughter, Samantha.
Robyn enjoyed spending time in the outdoors, camping, reading, crafts and watching her children's activities.
She had a great sense of humor, cared about others and loved bringing people together. However, what she treasured most was the time she was given to spend with her family and loved ones.
She was a loving daughter, mother, sister and friend and will be missed dearly by those closest to her.
