Margaret Duhon Robin

Surrounded by her loved ones, Margaret Ann Biddick Duhon Robin, 84, of Jennings, Louisiana, passed away on July 17, 2024.

Born on August 30, 1939 to Ruby Myers Biddick and Joris Dean Biddick, in Mermentau, Louisiana, Margaret soon moved to Jennings and has always called Southwest Louisiana home. Proud of her Cajun roots, she loved music and never backed down from the opportunity to dance. As a lifelong caregiver, Margaret worked in the nursing field for more than 36 years. Her roles included working at the Jennings American Legion Hospital, Abrom Kaplan Memorial Hospital, Gueydan Memorial Nursing Home, and director of nursing at the Jennings Guest House. At the end of her career, she retired from nursing with the State of Louisiana.

As a lover of the outdoors and physical fitness, Margaret spent her years traveling around the country in their camper with loved ones and spending time in nature. She participated in countless sports, from track and field to basketball, and remained active throughout her life, including competing and winning several medals in the Senior Olympics. Her love of sports was always recognized as she rooted for her LSU Fighting Tigers, especially the women’s teams. Equal to her pursuit of adventure was her enduring faith and love for her family. Countless gatherings and traditions were shared at her home, from holiday celebrations to her favorite wine nights. She was also involved with the Choir, Altar Society, Catholic Daughters at Our Lady Help of Christians Catholic Church.

Margaret is survived by her husband, Jim Robin; her siblings, Jerry Biddick (Carolyn) and Donna Biddick; her four children, Terry Duhon (Paula), Tricia Duhon, Melody Collins (John) and Matthew Duhon (Rachael); her two step-children, James Robin, Jr. (Shannon) and Patti Robin Garbarino; her 11 grandchildren, Chris, Blake, Lauren, Jillian, Timothy, Mary Claire, Zachary, Emily, Gregory, Ellen and Luke; her four step-grandchildren, Nick, Doug, Fredrick and Clara; and her 10 great-grandchildren, Eli, Albert, Andrew, Gianna, William, Stephen Joseph, Rhett, Amanda, Peter, and Cameron.
