I had Mrs. Robbie in the 6th grade and I still have a postcard that she sent me from Alaska the summer of 1963. Mrs. Robbie was a wonderful teacher who was loved by all of her students.
Great memories of days spent in
"Miss Robbie's" 6th. grade class.
She made a difference!
A very sweet lady that has kept in touch as I have move up to a few years ago Asking do you remember be. Who could forget her.
Mrs. Robbie, my 6th grade teacher changed my life. I was so very shy and she insisted I run for Nunnally Student Council President. She worked tirelessly for her candidates. I won and Billy Berry was elected V.P. A dear, loviing woman.
Mrs. Burkett was a wonderful teacher. My late brother was fortunate to have her as a teacher in the 6th grade. He absolutely loved Mrs. Robbie.
She will be missed.
Ms Robbie will be remembered by everyone that ever met her. She was probably the kindest lady I ever knew. Always had a sweet smile and kind word for anyone she came in contact with. Wonderful teacher and mentor to many of us.
Miss Robbie will always live in the hearts and memories of those of us from Lee County.
