Robin Privott Hartleben
51 year old (PW) sailed away into the Kitty Hawk Sunset on the 8th of Aug. 2009
She joined her father Joseph Robert Privott, mother-in-law Betty Hartleben and dogs Morgan, Merlin, Heidi, and Thunder. Together they are watching
over her husband and soul mate Eric, her mother and step father, Ray and Dorine Straub of Salem, VA, her children and their spouses Mark Beard,
Patrick Beard and his wife Melissa, Justin Hartleben and his wife Leanne, and Jared Hartleben. She is also survived by her grand children Aiden, Lance, Zack and Erica, her sister and brother-in-law Joe and Karen Licari of Chesapeake, VA, her brother and sister-in-law Joey and Lori Privott of Roanoke, VA, and many loving nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and
three dogs Glory, Tully, and Ice.
Robin was born in Roanoke, VA and was an honor graduate of Patrick Henry High School, attended Mars Hill College and graduated from the School of
Radiological Technology of Roanoke Memorial Hospital. Several years later, Robin moved to the Outer Banks where she began her career in real estate.
From birth she was an animal lover. She competed in horse shows around Virginia as a teenager, and as an adult, made it her mission to rescue abused German Shepherds. For the past ten years she has dedicated her life to serving the OBX through various fundraisers and benefits sponsored by the OBX Pirates Parrot-Head Club, for which she was the Charter holder. When she wasn’t partying with the Parrot Heads or loving on her family, she enjoyed running. She never took this gift for granted, and her
excitement has inspired friends and family to lace up their running shoes and go the extra mile.
Robin will always be remembered for her tremendous dignity, strength, and courage especially during her 3 month battle with cancer. Memorial contributions can be made in honor of Robin to the Outer Banks Relief
Foundation, P.O. Box 818, Nags Head, NC 27959.
On Aug.15th at 11:00am family and friends will unite at Kitty Hawk Baptist Church (3946 N Croatan Hwy, Kitty Hawk, NC 27949)for a memorial service in
honor of the life and legacy of Robin.

I was Robins last roommate in Roanoke and then helped bring her home. I am deeply sad to find this news and she my deepest sympathy. Robin was such a strong individual that it is hard for me to imagine her otherwise! And smart!! I could not even comprehend how smart she was and the retention of her knowledge was nothing less than amazing!! I was a year behind her at Roanoke Memorial when we were introduced at a presentation became inseparable!! I was developing the old x-ray films out of a dark room while Robin was introducing color with the “new” thermographic scans. She just love life! And she wore it with a smile! I learned so much from her and her excitement for life was mesmerizing. The last time we got together, her and I laid down on the floor of the boat and just watched the clouds in the sky. She told me that we weren’t supposed to fight the waves because each one was a sign of rebirth, each wave was unique, and although every single one will crash, they never stop. Until we meet again, I will carry her loving memories with me always All my love and prayers
