Robin Morris Quail Woods
February 6, 1959 - October 30, 2024
Robin quietly slipped away from us on October 30, 2024. None of us lucky enough to be allowed in her life were quite ready to lose her.
Robin appeared to be a tough cookie-strong and protective, but once you gained entree her beautiful soul shined bright. She was quick-witted, flashing an incredible sense of humor eliciting uproarious cackles. She was fiercely loyal and would go to the mat for her friends. She was a solid source of support. She was highly educated, smarter than any of us, and always knew the answer. She was meticulous and methodical and just pure genius. She was a lover and a giver and incredibly generous. She made a lite out of philanthropy, in the great tradition of those who went before her.
Robin was important. She was a gift. There will never be another and we are all left bereft.
Surely she was welcomed by her dearly missed mother Margery Ramsey Morris Woods “Gabby”: and her father Edward Alexander Woods. She leaves behind her life partner of over 40 years, Renee C. Baier and many dear friends. She will be laid to rest with her parents in a private service.
In Loving Memory
Renee, I'm sorry for your loss. I went to Murray High School with Robin. She, Adrianne and myself did a lot together.

Renee - Brian and I are sending hugs. Robin was a force of nature, and we are lucky for knowing her and her beautiful and strong soul. The obituary is a beautiful tribute to her. LOVE.

I was one of the fortunate development directors who got to work with Robin as she provided funding for programs to benefit women and children. She was also a dear friend. We met a couple of times a year to arrange for her foundation's gift, often over a steak! She was always interested in my life and gave me sage advice. I know how she loved her home with Renee and the dogs (truly their children) they housed there. I pray that she will be wrapped in the arms of her dear mother as she advances into the next realm. Rest in blessed peace, dear Robin.

Dear Renee, I was deeply saddened to hear of Robin's passing. I feel incredibly fortunate to have known her, as she was not only a wonderful donor and huge supporter of Salt Lake County Animal Services, but also a true mentor to me. Robin's encouragement, belief in my abilities, and constant inspiration meant so much to me. We would often talk, and I loved hearing her ideas, particularly her interest in the shelter's work and her ongoing commitment to helping animals. Robin’s dedication to the pet pantry year after year was just one example of her selflessness and compassion. She cared deeply about feeding and supporting the dogs and cats in our community, and her impact was truly felt. I will always miss Robin’s wisdom and friendship, and I will forever cherish the time we spent together. She had such a generous heart, not only in supporting causes she believed in but also in her love for animals, which she shared with me throughout our friendship. Renee, I am so sorry for your loss. Robin will be missed dearly, and I know I will think of her often. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there is anything I can do for you during this difficult time. With deepest sympathy, Jami Johanson
