Robbie was born January 13, 1934 in Hillsboro to Vernon McCain and Josephine (Gray) Bearden. Robbie was a faithful and devoted member of Grace Temple Baptist Church for many years. She loved reading the Bible, learning about military history / going to military museums and enjoyed a wide variety of music. In her early years she sang a few times on some specialty television shows while contemplating a singing career. She was very patriotic and never missed an opportunity to thank others for their military service. A thrill of a lifetime for her was flying on the Boeing B-29 Superfortress, FIFI, for her 80th birthday.

Robbie was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Thomas Eugene Martin; brothers, Joe Dan Bearden and Richard Lee Bearden; sister, Jeannine Rezach.

She leaves behind to cherish her memory: her daughter, Susan Willmann and husband, Donnie; special niece (like a daughter), Caroll Green and husband, Robert and other numerous nieces and nephews.
