RobinAnn Zoellick, 68 of Watertown, passed away on Thursday, December 26, 2024, at The View in Johnson Creek. 

Robin was born on May 13, 1956, in Watertown, the daughter of Robert and DawnAnn (Dominick) Rafel. She attended school in the area and graduated from Watertown High School. On November 10, 1979, Robin was united in marriage with Robert Zoellick at St. Mark's Ev. Lutheran Church in Watertown. Even from a young age, Robin was a gifted musician who could play any instrument, or at least attempt to play it. She was a drum majorette and a professional Hula dancer, and carried her love of music into her later life. Robin loved to watch Rodgers and Hammerstein movies. She was an incredibly dedicated and hard-working woman. For over 15 years, Robin worked as a seamstress and owned her own business, Bridal Fair Unlimited, where she used her considerable talents to create numerous dresses. She was known to be able to create a beautiful dress from scraps in just one day. Later, Robin opened a cleaning service. In her free time, she enjoyed camping, playing cards with her card club, and playing bingo. Above all else, Robin loved her family. She will be deeply missed by all those her knew her. 

Robin is survived by: her husband Robert Zoellick; children Heather (Jeff Gray) Zoellick, Heidi (Brett) Dunham, and Eric (Katie) Zoellick; grandchildren Jake Rennhack, Jillian, Elijah, and AveryRose Dunham, and Noah and Asher Zoellick; mother Dawn Rafel; siblings Robert (Kathy) Rafel, Jami Rafel, Jon Rafel, and Jody Rafel. Robin is also survived by a number of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and many friends. 

Robin is preceded in death by her father.
