Robin Marcino

Robin Marcino, 68, of Deep River, passed away on Jan. 16, 2024. Robin was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Charles and Evelyn Binder on Aug. 13, 1955. She grew up in Moorestown, New Jersey, and went to college in Connecticut at the University of Bridgeport for graphic design.

Before her career as a graphic designer, Robin worked at a local farmstand, then in restaurants, waitressing or running the kitchen. It was while working as a waitress at Damian’s Restaurant in Westport that she met her husband, Joseph M. Marcino. Robin and Joseph married on Aug. 12, 1978, in Rowayton and lived along many shoreline towns (some even on a houseboat!). They eventually settled in Deep River, where Robin’s graphic design career blossomed.

She and her husband started their own entrepreneurship in the beauty industry, where she published all of their training manuals and advertisements. In addition, she designed and published Inspire hair fashion books for salons. An avid gardener, Robin could always be found by the nearest garden bed, removing weeds and tending to the plants (even if they weren’t hers!). She was also the Assistant Troop leader for her son in the local Cub Scout and Boy Scout organizations, becoming a second “Mom” to many of the scouts.

Robin is preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Evelyn Binder, and her older brother, Charles T. Binder. Robin is survived by her husband, Joseph M. Marcino; son, JC Marcino, and his wife, Jaime Marcino; and her sister, Jan Lomas, and husband, Michael Lomas.
