KITTY HAWK — With heavy hearts, we announce that Robin Lee Staley (Cornelius) of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, has passed away at her home on March 26, 2025, at the age of 56. In her hometown of Harrisville, Pennsylvania, she was born at Grove City Hospital on September 10, 1968.
Robin was a homemaker; she dedicated her life to her three children and was known for her unwavering love for them, always putting their needs before her own. She felt the most joy in nurturing and supporting her children and grandchildren. She was a kindhearted, loving, and fun person to be around who always lived life to the fullest. She could always make you laugh. Robin was a big animal lover, especially to her cats. She enjoyed nature and being outdoors, loved taking walks, doing yard work, fishing, camping, going to the beach, feeding the birds/animals, and cherished spending time with her children and grandchildren, whom she loved more than life!
Robin is survived by her partner of 15 years, Charles Larry Nicholson; her mother, Elizabeth Jean Atwell (Ruggles); her three daughters, Maria, Angela, and Gina Staley; her sister, Laurie Filer (Cornelius); her two brothers, Robert “Boomer” Cornelius and Daniel Cornelius; and her two grandchildren, Zackary and Alexis. She was preceded in death by her father, Richard Cornelius.
The family will hold a memorial service and celebration of Robin’s life in Harrisville, PA, on a date that is still to be determined.
