Robin Rae Bradshaw Eberline, 67, of Soldotna, Alaska returned home to her Heavenly Father and loved ones gone before on April 11, 2024 in her childhood home in Annis, Idaho after complications of her 12 year-long battle with cancer.  Her family was all able to gather together and say goodbye, love you, and see you soon.

Robin was born July 12, 1956 in Idaho Falls, Idaho to George Ray Bradshaw and Phyllis Stoddard Bradshaw.  To her regret, she was the only girl with four brothers and she always wished for a sister. Playing with brothers molded her into a girly tom-boy, where she could be found catching polywogs by the Annis Butte, playing with her girl cousins, or with her nose in a book. She went to Annis and Menan Elementary Schools. Robin attended Rigby High School; while attending Ricks College, she worked at Key Bank and IBNT.  While she was attending Ricks College a friend set her up on a blind date.  She wasn’t sure about Randy until he took her home to Montana where Daddy took her horseback riding, skiing, and spent time with his family. After that Robin was convinced but it took Randy longer than she wanted to propose.  Randy proposed in the Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, a few minutes before General Conference in April of 1976.

Robin and Randy were married as eternal sweethearts May 14, 1976 in the Idaho Falls Temple.  They lived on his family’s cattle ranch in Dillon, Montana where they had their first two daughters and a son.  After a sheep hunting trip to Alaska, Robin said she never heard the end of it and they made the move of a lifetime.

They lived in a travel trailer with an ice cold outhouse while building a beautiful log home in Sterling, Alaska and had two more daughters and one more son. She was a devoted wife and mother who spent her time taking care of her family and serving in numerous callings within The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

From 1992-1995 they spent summers in Alaska and winters in Montana while Randy finished his college degree.  Momma ran an unseemly early three-hour paper route to the Big Hole Valley, which was quite the daily trek. After Dad’s graduation, they stayed in Alaska full-time again. She took a job at Sterling Greenhouse to gain experience and because they were willing to pay her in flowers. This job was when the youngest kids got older, and much to their dismay, they had to fend for themselves after school.

In 2001 Randy and Robin broke ground on their dream home close to Soldotna, beginning with their large shop which they lived in for the first year, affectionately termed “the acoustic chamber” because it had 8-foot walls and 10-foot ceilings.   Momma had her beautiful flower beds, green house, and garden and dad had his hunting, fishing, tool shop and room for all his “sheds”.  She took a job at the hospital in medical records, which led to her getting the credentials to be a medical coder, where she worked for many years. Good nutrition and health was important throughout her life so she trained to become a health coach, where she enjoyed helping others until her cancer journey began.

Robin has always been a leader for others, teaching them better ways to care for their health, spending countless hours learning and researching.  She volunteered at the Food Bank because “life feels fuller when you’re serving others.” She loved the gospel of Jesus Christ and started a local group of the program Inklings where they read, studied, and met to discuss conference talks.  Her family was her greatest joy. Robin spent a large chunk of time learning, playing games, doing puzzles, and reading with her husband, children and grandchildren. She loved and listened to others, creating an atmosphere of peace wherever she went.  Her biggest aspiration in life was to be like Jesus and her family thinks she was as close as anyone could get.

Robin is survived, loved and missed ever so much by her husband Randy Eberline of Soldotna, AK; her children, Mellinee (Aaron) Poindexter of Soldotna, AK; Chad (Fiancé Angela Bell) Eberline of Killdeer, ND; Connie (Nathan) Barton of Aurora, CO; Troy (Katie) Eberline of Taylor, AZ; Camiel (Wesley) Clark of Soda Springs, ID; and Amber (Cameron) Christian of Provo, UT; her mother, Phyllis Bradshaw of Annis, ID; brothers George (Debbie) Bradshaw of Rigby, ID; Brian (Leisha) Bradshaw of Rigby, ID; Mark (Michelle) Bradshaw of Annis, ID; Stacy (Millie) Bradshaw of Woodruff, UT. Also remembering and loving her are 22 beloved grandchildren, Kyle and Bailey Poindexter; Kaleb, Haley, and Jackson Eberline; Willow and Wesley Brauchie; Becky, Tyler, Clinton, and Clara Barton; Payton, Allie, Emma, Brooke, and Easton Eberline; Ella, Sophia, and Ollie Clark; and Slater, Maverick, and Asher Christian.
