With heavy hearts, we celebrate the life and legacy of Robynne Elizabeth Reese-Ramirez, who departed this world on October 28, 2025, at the age of 32. Born on January 3, 1993, in San Diego, CA, Robynne’s journey took her to Newport News, VA, where she made lasting memories and touched countless lives.

Robynne was a vibrant soul with an insatiable curiosity and love for all things extraordinary. Her work as a Medical Insurance Verification specialist at Huffman and Huffman Brothers Law showcased her dedication and meticulous nature. Yet, it was her passions that truly defined her spirit.

A lover of Nightmare Before Christmas and the whimsical worlds crafted by Tim Burton, Robynne found joy in the magical and the mysterious. She cherished the memories of facing her fear of clowns alongside her brother Adam at Busch Gardens Howl-O-scream. Her heart belonged to her beloved husband Jesse and their beautiful daughters, Isabella and Jordynne, with whom she shared countless adventures.

Robynne’s love for storytelling came alive through her enjoyment of reading and her fascination with Pokémon. She delighted in discovering new treasures at Atomic Comics and shared the love of watching Demon Slayer with her daughter Isabella. Disney World held a special place in her heart, a realm of wonder she visited whenever she could.

Her zest for life extended to culinary delights, savoring good sushi and mastering the art of eating edamame with Jesse on their cherished date nights. Most of all, she enjoyed being Jesse’s cheerleader and taste taster in the kitchen while he cooked her favorite meals. 

Robynne graduated from Warwick High School as part of the Class of 2011, leaving behind a legacy of kindness and resilience. She is preceded in death by her beloved Great Grandmother Betty Boone and Grandfather Jerald Jackson.

Surviving her are those who will forever hold her memory dear: her loving husband Jesse Ramirez; her incredible daughters Isabella and Jordynne; her devoted parents Laura Houchins (Mike Houchins) and Darren Reese (Sherri Reese); her protective brothers Pete, Adam (Brittany), Justice, Preston, Sam, and Mikey; grandmothers Barbara Jackson and Marcia Cates, and grandfather John Cates. She will also be deeply missed by her cherished friend Gabby, chosen family member Deanna Lee Reese, numerous nieces and nephews, and an extended family and circle of friends.

Robynne’s light will continue to shine in the hearts of all who knew her. Her legacy of love, laughter, and courage will inspire us to embrace life with the same passion and joy she did. Let us also remember a phrase she loved to live by: “Normal is boring. I would rather live life being weird”
