Otego - Robin Leigh (Chisholm) Briguglio, 69, passed away October 28, 2024 at A.O. Fox Hospital in Oneonta.

She grew up in Manhasset, New York and graduated from Manhasset High School in 1973. She continued her education at Stony Brook University, Brown University, and Katherine Gibbs School.

Robin married Joseph Briguglio on October 20, 1979 in East Meredith, New York.  Robin loved listening to music both live and while on drives with her husband Joe, of 45 years. Robin, with her husband, own Ace Glass Company in Oneonta. She also raised and bred champion Labrador retrievers for 20 years. She was an artist and member of the Artisans Guild in Oneonta for 10 years, showing and selling her artwork for many to enjoy. Robin taught art classes and influenced many students to pursue art throughout her life. Her pride was her accomplishment in her most important job of raising her children. She felt very blessed to be able to care for not only her children, but her grandchildren, whom she loved and inspired so much. Her children and grandchildren were the brightest lights of her life. Her grace and resilience in the face of adversity will forever be an inspiration. There are so many significant people in her life that she cherished for numerous reasons.
