Dr. Robin Grant, founder of In His Love International Ministry, passed away on October 8, 2011 in Tirana, Albania, where she had lived since late 2010, actively pursuing her work for the Lord. In these pages, we pay tribute to a woman who truly walked in the footsteps of Jesus.

Robin was born in Boston May 14, 1947. With her parents and older brother, Chuck, she lived on the East Coast until 1962, when the family relocated to Pacific Palisades, California.

Boating, and the water in all forms, bound the family in joint water sports and adventures. Robin thrived on the water, was a happy, involved crew member and liked every aspect of being on the ocean. Her brother mused that many of her adult hobbies - cruising, scuba diving, predicted log racing, and even cruise-ship ministering - were a consequence of those happy family boating days.

A good student, Robin graduated from Pali High, got her Bachelor’s from the University of Oregon, and a Master’s in Public Health from Cal State Northridge. Her Doctorate Degree in Ministry was bestowed in 1998. One of her first jobs was traveling to small towns in Alaska to educate the residents about hypertension. She switched to a travel-related industry to spend a long tenure with TWA, taking full advantage of travel privileges to visit virtually every scuba diving spot on the globe. Her last two positions were in the fields of computer technology and coin collection and auctioneering.

After her mother died in 1978, Robin stayed close by and took extra special care of her father until he eventually remarried. Robin is survived by her brother Chuck and sister-in-law Julie Grant, nephew Adam Grant, niece Sarah Chance-Rudney, and grand nieces Sophie Chance and Greta Grant, and grand nephew Soren Grant.
