Robyn Hinkle Taylor, 41, of Milan, Tennessee, passed away on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, at Baptist Memorial Hospital–Memphis after a courageous year-long battle with illness. She passed peacefully, surrounded by those who loved her most.
Born August 19, 1984, in Joplin, Missouri, Robyn was the daughter of Sue Roberson and Robert Hinkle. She traveled with the New Life Drama Company, sharing her faith in Christ and later worked in her family business, Sonic Drive-In.
Robyn welcomed two beautiful daughters – Anzley and Leighton. Robyn and Anzley represented the March of Dimes with their incredible story of Anzley’s birth. Leighton’s birth completed their family with the same energy and s***k that Robyn displayed as a child. In her girls, her spirit lives on.
Robyn was many things to many people: a daughter, sister, mother, friend, and faithful believer. She sang with a voice that could stir the deepest emotions and possessed a quick wit that remained intact even through the most difficult days of her illness. She was unapologetically honest, unfiltered in the best sense of the word, and fiercely compassionate toward those who felt overlooked or left behind. Strong, resilient, and unwavering in her faith, Robyn faced every challenge with courage and the assurance that Jesus walked beside her. Her life stands as a testament to God’s steadfast love and faithfulness. Robyn has “fought the good fight, finished the race, kept the faith,” and the family encourages guests to celebrate Robyn by wearing colors rather than traditional black.
Robyn was proceeded in death by her grandparents, Beryl Roberson, Francis and Rosalie Hinkle, Shirley and Jack DeWitt.
In addition to her parents, Robyn is survived by her daughters, Anzley Taylor and Leighton Gallimore, both of Milan; her sister, Kari Luckey (Will); her nephews, Jack Romero and Gabe Romero; and her nieces, Kate Romero and Ava Luckey, all of Dyersburg, her step-fathers Joe Brown and John Hess, fathers of her children Don Taylor and Michael Gallimore and dear friend Johnathan Crowe. She is also survived by a large extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends across Tennessee, Arkansas, Kansas, Indiana, California, and Switzerland, all of whom loved her deeply and will miss her dearly.
Visitation will be held Monday at First Assembly of God in Milan beginning at 10:00 a.m. and continuing until the funeral service at 11:00 a.m.
Graveside services will follow in Dyersburg at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, June 1, 2026, at Fairview Cemetery, with Reverend Donny Travis and Apostle Barry Chaney officiating.
Serving as pallbearers will be Robert Hinkle, Jack Romero, Gabriel Romero, Mark Roberson, Don Taylor, Johnathon Crowe, T.J. Williams, and Eddie Shults.
The family requests that memorial contributions be made to the National Scleroderma Foundation, 55 Ferncroft Road, Danvers, Massachusetts 01923.
