Robin Marie Flatley, age 49, of Livonia, Michigan, passed away Sunday, April 28, 2024. Left to cherish her memory are her loving husband, Sean Flatley; her two cherished children: Brianna Flatley, and Owen Flatley; her parents, John and Wanda Sinkey; and her sister, Anne Sinkey.
Robin was born September 5, 1974, in Toledo, Ohio, the daughter of John and Wanda (Yingling) Sinkey. After graduating from high school in 1992, Robin enrolled at Michigan State University. Robin met the love of her life, Sean Flatley, while completing her Bachelor’s Degree in Biochemistry at MSU. They were married on December 28, 1997, sharing nearly twenty-seven wonderful years together. After graduating from Michigan State, Robin went on to receive her Master’s Degree in Pharmacology from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. She made use of her education doing cancer research at Karmanos Cancer Institute at Wayne State University. She would eventually be able to put her skills to great use as she homeschooled her two children. Robin took great pride in her ability to homeschool Brianna and Owen, and it was the most important job she ever had.
In her free time, Robin could be found attending and leading church small groups, cooking for her family, or working on one of her sewing and crocheting projects. She held fond memories from trips taken with her family; she particularly loved the trips to National Parks over the years. Robin was a wonderful wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend who will be dearly missed by those who carry on her memory.
In accordance with Robin’s wishes, cremation will take place. A Memorial Service for Robin will take place at 4:30 pm on Saturday, May 18, 2024, at Covenant Community Church, 25800 Student Street, Redford, Michigan 48239. Robin's family will receive visitors at the church on Saturday from 3:30 pm until the time of service at 4:30 pm. A memorial luncheon will take place at church after the service for those who would like to attend.
