Robin Levitt Blumberg ’79

Robin Levitt Blumberg died Feb. 17, 2007, with her family around her, after a two-year battle with cancer.

Robin transferred to Princeton from Bryn Mawr as a sophomore after marrying Alan Blumberg, who was at Princeton finishing his Ph.D. dissertation. She and Alan were both born in Panama, where Robin’s father was a career U.S. Army officer stationed in the Panama Canal zone. Alan’s father was a career U.S. Civil Service employee. Robin’s family eventually moved to Virginia, where Robin graduated from Annandale High School. The two families stayed in touch, with the happy outcome of Robin’s and Alan’s 31-year marriage.

At Princeton, Robin majored in economics and graduated with honors. She was the adoring mother of two children, Nathan and Jessica. Robin was devoted to her family, friends, and community. She volunteered with the Alumni Schools Committee and was a longtime member of the Mahwah (N.J.) Board of Education, most recently serving as first vice president. Robin also volunteered for many years at Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, N.J., where she received many accolades for her exemplary service.

The class extends its sincere condolences to Alan, Nathan, and Jessica, and to Robin’s mother, Frances.
