Robin Michele Smith

Robin Michele Smith, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on June 22, 2026, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. She was 62 years old.

Born on October 7, 1963, in Montrose, Colorado, Robin was the daughter of Leland and Lola Howard. She was raised in Montrose and graduated from Montrose High School in 1982. Shortly thereafter, she married Kim Smith, in 1983. Together, they built a life centered on faith, family, and love, sharing more than 43 wonderful years of marriage.

Robin’s most important and cherished role was that of mother. While she worked as a bookkeeper for several local businesses throughout the years, her greatest passion was raising her children and supporting her family in every possible way. She took immense pride in her son, Tyler Smith and her daughter, Tiffany Roshon.

Nothing brought Robin greater joy than her five grandchildren, who were truly the light of her life: August, Tucker, and Griffin Smith, sons of Tyler (and Claire); and Hadley and Hayden Roshon, daughters of Tiffany (and Cory). She treasured every opportunity to attend their sporting events, celebrate their accomplishments, and create lasting memories with them.

Robin loved gathering with family and friends. She especially enjoyed trips to the lake with dear family friends, the Mastersons, carefully planning picnics and outings days in advance to ensure everyone had a wonderful time. She also deeply cherished her close-knit group of friends, affectionately known as “the Posse.” Whether celebrating birthdays over lunch, enjoying dinners together, or embarking on girls’ trips across the country, those friendships brought her great happiness throughout her life.

Above all else, Robin loved the Lord. A devoted and steadfast Christian, she lived her faith daily through kindness, generosity, and prayer. Her family often joked that whenever life became difficult, Robin could be counted on to go to work as a faithful “prayer warrior.” Her unwavering faith sustained her through life’s challenges and served as an inspiration to all who knew her.

Robin is survived by her beloved husband, Kim Smith; her parents, Leland and Lola Howard; and her brother, Kevin Howard (Sherry). Additionally, her children Tyler Smith (Claire) and Tiffany Roshon (Cory); her grandchildren, August, Tucker, Griffin, Hadley, and Hayden; as well as numerous extended family members, friends, and loved ones whose lives were blessed by her presence.

The Smith family extends its heartfelt gratitude to the many family members and friends who provided unconditional love, prayers, encouragement, and support throughout Robin’s cancer journey. Their kindness was a tremendous comfort to Robin and her family. Special thank you to Dr. Jordan and the nursing staff at the San Juan Cancer Center who went above and beyond in Robin’s care.

A celebration of Robin’s life will be held at Grace Community Church on Friday, June 26, 2026, at 11:00 a.m.

In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests that memorial donations be made in Robin’s honor to HopeWest Hospice.

Robin’s legacy of faith, love, friendship, and devotion to family will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
