She was born in Luton, England to Thomas and Gladys Evans on September 3, 1925. Robina grew up in Kettering England with her 5 brothers and 4 sisters. She developed a love for walking, swimming, fashion, dancing and ballet which lasted throughout her lifetime. She worked as a model for PYE TV in Cambridge UK when they were testing colours for TV. Robina met the love of her life Charlie in England when he was stationed there with the United States Army Air Corp in the 1950s. PYE sponsored her move from England to the United States so she could marry Charlie. She always made it a point to say she was “not a war bride”. She moved to Sacramento CA and while engaged worked as a comptometer operator. She and Charlie were married in Sacramento in 1956.
