Robin Amber Zingales

Robin Amber Zingales (née Ruff), age 61, of Parma Heights, Ohio, passed away peacefully on September 10, 2024, at Hospice Services of Southwest General in Strongsville, Ohio, after a short battle with cancer. She was born on October 24, 1962, in Massillon, Ohio.

Robin was a beloved partner to Thomas Holmes and is survived by her brothers, Gilbert, Leo, Jon, and Craig, and her only sister, Jody. She was a proud aunt to her many nieces and nephews. Robin is preceded in death by her beloved parents, John and Helen Ruff, and many other dear family members.

Robin graduated from West Tech High School and dedicated 30 years of her career as a legal assistant at The Linton Law Firm and Linton & Hirshman where she was known for her dedication, professionalism, and kind spirit. She was a woman with a big heart, always putting others’ needs before her own. Her caring nature was evident in her love for cooking and sharing meals with her family, friends, and neighbors, especially in times of need. Her generosity knew no bounds — she often said, “It’s huge” the impact you can have on others when you show them that you care.

Robin’s love of animals and nature was well known to all who knew her. She enjoyed grilling, hosting gatherings, and spending time with loved ones, creating lasting memories filled with laughter and warmth.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Robin’s memory, to honor her generous and caring spirit. https://www.stjude.org/give/memorials-and-dedications/donation-in-honor-of-someone.html
