Robin Dawn Maggert, 69, of Altoona, Iowa, passed away July 20, 2025. She was born December 23, 1955, in Des Moines, Iowa to Fred and Jean Long.

Visitation will be held from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Monday, July 28, 2025, at Memorial Services of Iowa (4208 N. Ankeny Blvd).

A lifelong resident of the Des Moines area, Robin attended Ankeny High School and the University of Northern Iowa. She had a passion of quilting, taking day trips and shopping with her husband, Mike, watching her grandkids in sports, volunteering for AHeinz Pet Rescue and spending time at her daughter’s pool with her granddaughters Ali and Georgia.

Before her passing, she had been the Office Manager for Sheet Metal Worker’s Union #45 for over 15 years.

She was an avid fan of the Iowa State Cyclones and Ankeny Hawks. She loved watching college sports. March Madness was one of her favorite times of the year, most especially during her mother, Jean’s, life – where they would enjoy seeing who had the winning bracket!

Robin is survived by her husband, Mike; daughter, Jessica (Bill) Friend; son, Jeffrey (Chelsea) Gasperi; sisters, Debbie (Willie) Brown, and Connie (Rick) Huff; brothers, Mike Long, and Mark (Marci) Long; 11 grandchildren; and many cousins, nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Fred and Jean Long.

Memorials can be made to Aheinz Pet Rescue and the First United Methodist Church of Ankeny.
