Jan Roblin Death | Obituary – Jan Roblin of Florence, Alabama age 77 passed away from COVID-19. Jan was one of the 39 residents and employees at Florence Nursing and Rehabilitation Center who got the virus. She’s now one of four from the same nursing home who has died of the virus.
“She was known by my youngest daughter Isabella as Abunanny, and she wore that badge proudly,” said Wilson. “My mom was beautiful. I was so proud of her all the time. Her beauty wasn’t just skin deep, it was throughout.”
WAAY 31 reached out to Florence Nursing and Rehab several times on Wednesday and Thursday. Officials have not responded to any of our questions or returned any calls.
Previously the nursing home confirmed with WAAY 31 on June 10 that it had two coronavirus cases. On June 23, after calling and emailing officials for more than a week, the nursing home said its cases jumped from two to 39. Nineteen residents had the virus and 20 employees. The nursing home also confirmed on June 23 that three residents had passed away from the virus.
Roblin’s death now brings the total to four, but the nursing home won’t confirm that. WAAY 31 has also asked the nursing home several times about its protocols and how it’s handling the virus all they would confirm is that they are following CDC and public health guidelines.
Officials did say on June 23 that five of the 19 residents that tested positive had recovered and that others were improving.
But now they won’t give an update on cases or how residents and employees are doing.
We express our sympathy and deepest condolences to Jan Roblin’s family today and in the days, weeks, months, and years that are to come as they cope with his passing. May his soul rest in peace.
JAN ROBLIN, 77, of Florence, Alabama, died of COVID-19. She was a gifted artist and a doting grandmother.
