Robin S. Sargent worked for Blanchard Valley Hospital
Robin S. Sargent, 71, of Columbus Grove, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on Wednesday, May 27, 2026. She was born on March 8, 1955, in Bluffton, Ohio, to the late Robert and Margaret (Martin) Hursey. She is survived by her husband, Roy Sargent.
She is survived by her children, Matt (Stevi) Sargent and Jessica (Dino) Moler; step-children, Kris (Lisa) Sargent and Karmen (Dave Brown) Busick; grandchildren, Grant and Brady Wheeler, Madalyn and Cohen Fuerst, Chase and Blayne Sargent, Dylan, Dakota and Brock Sargent; Robby and Katie Busick and Chase Marshall; great-grandchildren, Elkan Wheeler, Hudson and Hayden Sargent, and Avery and Kinsley Sargent; siblings, Jeff (Denise) Hursey and Lynda (Kim) Best.
Robin retired in 2017 from Blanchard Valley Hospital where she worked in medical records. Her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were truly the center of her life — her greatest joy, proudest accomplishment, and deepest purpose. She loved them fiercely and unconditionally, and every moment spent with them was treasured. To be loved by her was to feel safe, comforted and completely accepted. She carried warmth that felt like a hug. Her gentle spirit, kind heart, and comforting presence drew people to her naturally. She saw the good in everyone and everything, always choosing compassion, grace, and understanding. Even in difficult moments, she found light where others could not. Music was one of her greatest comforts. She was always humming a tune, filling quiet moments with warmth and familiarity. Her creativity, soft soul, and peaceful nature left a lasting imprint on everyone lucky enough to know her. She leaves behind a family who adored her and countless people whose lives were made better by her kindness. Though her passing came far too soon, the love she gave so freely will continue to live on in the hearts of those she cherished most. She will be deeply missed, endlessly loved, and forever remembered.
Memorial Service will be held at 3:00 p.m. Sunday, May 31, 2026, at Hartman-Rousculp Community Funeral Home, 10879 State Route 12, Columbus Grove, with visitation two hours prior (1:00 pm - 3:00 p.m. ).
