Shavona Robinson

My dear sister, Shavona Robinson sadly passed away at the age of 56. She was born on August 31st 1968 and passed on February 14th 2025. She was born in New York City to Lillian and Tiny Robinson. She was raised by a single mother and we grew up together in New York City. As a child she was full of life. She was very intelligent, loving, and had a caring nature with all individuals. She had an unforgettable laugh and an infectious smile. By the time she was in elementary school, we had moved to Teaneck, New Jersey where she continued to blossom. She excelled in academics and graduated from Syracuse and pursued a successful career in Real Estate before meeting her husband, Robert(Rob)Sarazen. They lived in Hackensack New Jersey together before they eventually moved to Massachusetts then down to Naples, Florida. Rob and Shavona were together for manny many years before getting married in 2023 in Naples. This was the happiest time in her life and felt that she had fulfilled one of her biggest dreams and felt an overwhelming sense of happiness. My sister tirelessly cared for others including her husband who became very ill and debilitated. She drove 50 miles each way to visit him due to his condition. She was one who thought of her close friends and loved them all including Tony and her many girlfriends who she would often keep in touch with. She had a lot of love in her heart for her family including my wife Mary Beth, niece and nephew, Maya and Joren, and great niece Sophia who she often FaceTimed and adored. My sister frequently updated us through text and call with the joyous times and sad time with the need to care for her ill husband over the last few years. She always put others before her self. I believe she was Robs angel. They loved each unconditionally. I believe she wouldn’t want to live without the love of her life. I hope they are together as Robs passed a short two weeks after Shavona. With the two of them smiling down from heaven and being so thankful that their close friends and family are getting together to remember her and her life with Rob. I believe my sister is in a better place and she and Rob are continuing their everlasting life together.
