She enjoyed ceramic and porcelain painting.

Robin was a dedicated mother and grandmother. She treasured her time with her sons and their families. Her grandchildren loved baking with her and knew their grandmother played a wicked game of Mine Craft.

Robin was the wife of the late Arthur C. “Otts” Horsnall, the daughter of the late Charles and Edith Edzenga Travers and the sister of the late Janet Travers. She is survived by her sons and their wives Scott and Melissa Horsnall of Lambertville and Eric and Cindy Horsnall of Huntington Valley, PA; her grandchildren Sean, Robbie, Juneabea, Samantha and Bradley; her brother-in-law David Horsnall of Cream Ridge and an extended family of relatives, friends and students.
