Carmen Lydia Robles

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Carmen Lydia “Tata” Robles, 88,  of Hinesville, Georgia.

Carmen Lydia Robles was born in Santurce, Puerto Rico on June 24, 1935 to Eusebio Figueroa and Ramona Medina, and was one of twelve children. She married Epifanio “Fano” Robles on June 28, 1950, and they raised five children. Carmen passed away in Saint Joseph’s hospital on the evening of Wednesday, August 30, 2023 after a brief illness. 

She is preceded in death by her husband, Epifanio “Fano” Robles, her sisters, Gloria, Minerva, and Lucia,  her brother, Raulo, and her son Rafael Robles. She is survived by her children Iris (Roberto) Cadiz, Edgardo “Cuco” (Sherry) Rodriguez, Danny (Cabelle) Robles, Edgardo “Eggie” Robles, 9 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren, and her siblings (Monin, Norma, Mirna, Maelo, Arturo, Edwin, and Manolo).

Tata was a woman of faith and a member of Saint Stephen Catholic Church. She enjoyed baking, crocheting, Univision, and spending time with her family. Her cooking skills were unmatched. She was loved by many in her community. She was a wonderful woman who cared and helped provide for her family, as well as served as a caregiver to children of many families within the community. The Robles family would like to extend special, heartfelt gratitude to Lydia Torres, Madelin Figueroa, and Lucin Canales for going above and beyond with her extended care in the last months before her transition to Heaven. She will be sorely missed, but her spirit will live on forever.
