Rosamond passed peacefully after many years of living with dementia.

Born Rosamond Suzanne Robbins in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she was the second of three daughters to Rosalind and Leonard Robbins.

Rosamond (Pat Robbins) grew up in Santa Ana, California and attended Santa Ana High School and UCLA, where she majored in Dance. She graduated with a degree in Dance from the University of Oregon. Rosamond raised her family with ex-husband Bill Blok in Orange County, California, and Eugene and Cottage Grove, Oregon.

She also lived for many years in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, and Bend, Oregon. In Bend, she co-owned Rising Star.

Rosamond was a free spirit, filled with energy and vitality. She lived a colorful and vibrant life and was an accomplished dancer. She taught Tai Chi, studied in China and was proficient in several martial arts.

Other passions were ice-skating, urban rapping, break dancing, popping, ping-pong, gardening, and she was a gifted painter.

Rosamond is survived by her daughter, Leslie Blok (husband, Tod Wooldridge); son, Bill Blok (wife, Marsha Pecaut); mother, Rosalind Robbins; and sisters, Laurette Robbins and Lou Ellen Robbins. Other survivors include three grandchildren, one great-granddaughter, nephews and cousins, all of whom loved her dearly.

The family wishes to thank Charlotte Brown, for her compassion, loyalty and devotion.

In lieu of flowers, please consider giving time or donations to your favorite cause or loved one. Rosamond was a champion of peace on earth and ending hunger for all.
