Robbie was born on July 28th, 1953 in Brooklyn, NY to Martha and Seymour Blitz. She was raised in Far Rockaway, NY where she met her husband of 47 years, Paul Erdheim. She received her BA from the University of Buffalo where she graduated Phi Beta Kappa, and her Masters in Library Science from Queens College.
