    Robin Frances Cleman

    June 24, 1935 - January 15, 2021

    Robin Cleman, loving mother and grandmother, passed away on Friday, January 15, 2021 at the age of 95. Robin was born "Robin" Francis Nell Wells on June 24, 1925 in Bend, OR, the youngest of five children to Francis W. and Nellie V. Wells in the house her father built on the Wells' homestead just north of Pilot Butte in Bend. She attended school in Bend and furthered her education at University of Oregon in Eugene in 1945. During this time she attended a USO dance in Bend and met Bill Cleman, U. S. Army, furloughed in Bend. They married on March 24, 1946 in Bend and eventually settled and raised their family, two sons and two daughters, in Ephrata, WA. Robin worked various places in Ephrata, most notable remembered as office assistant at the Ephrata Veterinary Clinic for 20 years, retiring in 1987. Robin was a kind-hearted, vibrant person who was always ready for an adventure. She and Bill traveled to Europe and she later spent some time traveling through the southern and eastern U.S. She was active in painting, sewing, and many creative projects over the years, but her absolute passion was for gardening and enjoying nature. Her yard and garden were enjoyed by many visitors. Robin was preceded in death by her husband Bill, her parents and siblings. She is survived by her four children, Ron (Penny), David, Dianne (Doug) Atkinson and Debra (Dave) Surdez, eleven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren, who will miss her dearly. A private family celebration of her wonderful life will be held at a later date. Requesting no flowers or donations, but simply to envision Robin working in her everlasting garden of flowers. Lastly, a huge thank-you to the staff at Columbia Basin Hospital Long Term Care nd Assisted Living for the last few years of loving care for Mom. To Everything There is a Season and a time for Every Purpose Under Heaven
