Biography:
Robbin Mary Harville, 62, of Little Rock passed from this world into Glory on Sunday, November
15, 2020. Her parents, Dr. William E. Harville and Mrs. Virginia Harville Rowland predeceased
Robbin. She leaves behind to cherish her memory her sister Cathy Mulford of Maumelle, brother
John Harville (Kim) of Enola, nieces Mary Mulford and Kate Cloud (Josh), nephew William
Harville, and a host of family and lifelong friends.
Born in Crossett on September 14, 1958, Robbin attended Little Rock Public Schools, then
Texas Christian University where she earned a B.S. in Nursing. She worked in the ER at John
Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth for close to 30 years and she was an active member of
Grace Community Church in Arlington, Texas. Returning to Little Rock in 2010, Robbin
continued her nursing career at Baptist Medical Center ER, Rehab Care, and the allergy clinic at
UAMS until health concerns necessitated her retirement. She was an active member of The
Summit Church in Maumelle.
Diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and the recipient of a kidney/pancreas transplant, Robbin
fought valiantly against the effects of her disease throughout her life. Her faith in Jesus Christ
provided the firm foundation that encouraged, guided, and empowered her to live an abundant
life that overflowed into blessing those around her. She loved and served others well, and she
adored her nieces, nephew, and the children of her close friends as though they were her own.
A graveside service will be at Roselawn Memorial Park Cemetery Saturday, November 21 at 10 a.m.,
under the direction of Ruebel Funeral Home.
An organ donor added 25 years to Robbin’s life. In lieu of flowers, please consider a gift in
Robbin’s memory to Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Arora, or the medical ministry of
your choice.

Dear Cathy, John and Families,
I extend sincere sympathy to you all on the loss of your little sister Robbin. I know she will be greatly missed.
Although she had an unfortunate illness much of her life, she made a great contribution in the work she did
despite the difficulties of being a transplant patient. She serves as an example of how a person with a severe condition can nevertheless make a great contribution to Society in the life they lead. We should all applaud her memory.
With sincere sympathy from your father's old medical partner.
