Robin Camille Matthews lived a life of unbridled energy from her birth on November 26, 1963 and through her disabling illness and passing September 10, 2019.As a small child, she flew through our backyard in Dallas on a tiny bicycle that she herself had removed the training wheels at the age of three! As a teen, she shared her sister Becky’s enthusiasm for showing their Shelties in Obedience trials with great success and joy. Robin never said no to a job that needed to be done. Before college and law school, she owned a successful lawn care business. Robin was also a well-known and beloved waitress at the iconic Dream Cafe in Dallas. After graduating cum laude from the University of Texas at Dallas, Robin moved briefly to Albuquerque with her sister Liz while preparing for law school. Lubbock might not have been her first choice, but she came to love Texas Tech University School of Law and the Red Raiders. After receiving her Doctor of Jurisprudence degree in 2000, Robin started a successful private law practice in Lubbock. Robin was a gallant advocate and past-president of the Lubbock Criminal Defense Lawyers Association. Her creative genius and Renaissance sensibility led her down many paths with true intellectual curiosity and natural talent. She loved music, art, furry friends, and the law, but she was game for anything. Larger still was her heart of gold. If Robin loved you, her generosity was unparalleled. She thrived representing those in need, and creating a beautiful home in Lubbock where she loved to host gatherings large and small. Her culinary skills were a gift from previous generations and a touch of Robin’s unique style. The family is so grateful to the many friends and colleagues who showed such generosity and loyalty to Robin through the years.Survivors include her father, Jack Matthews of Rockwall; mother, Peggy Robbins of Richmond, VA; siblings, Becky Cloetta and husband Larry of Jackson, WY, Liz Matthews of Richmond,VA, Alex Matthews and wife Liu of Rockwall, and Chris Johnson of Oxford, NC; cherished niece, Catherine Cloetta, vast extended family including cousin, Carolyn Schindler, and her polydactyl cat, Echo.Robin was preceded in death by her beloved chocolate lab, Jackson Brown.We would love to know that Robin’s memory lives on as each of us finds joy in simple things and spreads love to one another in caring words, thoughts, and actions. A celebration of life is pending. Please share memories and expressions of sympathy.
