Danks, Robbie Jo (Henry) passed away peacefully in her home September 10, 2026. Preceded in death by parents, Don and Sally, and sister, Celeste. She is survived by her husband of 50 years, Lee; children, Dave (Siobhan), Laura (Paul), and Nick (Heather); grandchildren, Luisa, Castle, Colby, Emerald, and Lincoln; sister, Mickey; brothers, Kevin, Patrick, Donald, and Randy; and many other relatives and friends.

Robbie was born in Crookston, MN on April 10th, 1950. She spent her school years in Brained, and upon graduating from Washington High School in 1968, she moved to the Twin Cities. Here she reunited with Lee, the love of her life, who she married in Reno, NV on March 19, 1976. Before marriage, Robbie and Lee spent a year in Alaska. After marriage, they spent a year or two in the Iron Range. Eventually they settled in Plymouth, MN, where she raised her beautiful family and resided for the past 42 years.

Robbie had many skills, talents, and hobbies. She held a number of different jobs over the years - including, hardware clerk, childcare provider, roles in manufacturing and product design, and helping Lee with his various businesses. We all admired the ceramic winter village that she loved to layout, garland, and illuminate each Christmas. She was a great baker of cookies, decorator of cakes, and gardener. She especially loved Irises, and grew many different varieties of them. If such a thing exists, she probably could have been a professional hula-hooper. She loved turquoise, black hills gold, nutcrackers, country music, biking, walking, a glass of wine, and Betty Boop. She had a goofy sense of humor, an infectious laugh, and could crack herself up just as well as she could the people around her.

Robbie will be remembered as the most selfless and loving wife, mother, and grandmother we could have asked for. She moved across the country to welcome her first grandchild to the world, across the state to look after her own ailing parents and mother-in-law, and across town to dog sit. She was always there to help us, whenever and wherever we needed her.

Thank you Robbie, mom, grandma, for everything. We love you.
