Robin Pike, 67, of Andover, Massachusetts, entered into eternal rest on Monday, June 15, 2026, at Lawrence General Hospital.
Born in Queens, New York, Robin was the beloved daughter of the late Paul and Harriet (Stillman) Kaplan. She was a graduate of Plainview-Old Bethpage High School, Class of 1977 and attended Stony Brook University. In the early 1980s, Robin made Massachusetts her home, where she met the love of her life, Richard “Rick” Pike. The two were married on October 27, 1991, and shared more than 34 years of love, companionship, and unwavering devotion.
Robin had a lifelong passion for reading and could often be found immersed in a good book. She was an active member of several local book clubs and enjoyed the friendships they brought. She also had a deep interest in genealogy, particularly Jewish genealogy. Robin attended several Jewish genealogy conferences, where she enjoyed meeting and sharing with fellow researchers and learning new techniques to help uncover family histories and reconnect distant relatives.
Above all else, Robin treasured her family. She was a devoted wife and a loving mother.
Robin is survived by her beloved husband, Richard “Rick” Pike; her loving children, Ari Pike and Ilana Pike, both of Andover; her brothers, Barry Kaplan and his wife, Sharon, of Florida, and Michael Kaplan and his wife, Risa, of New York

Robin was a wonderfully kind and caring person. She always provided such thoughtful insights during our monthly book club sessions.
She will be dearly missed by all and our deepest sympathies to her family.
Love,
Lori and all the book club members from Monday evening sessions.
Dear Rick and Ari and Ilana and others, Robin was a member of our tight-knit group of friends in high school. We so valued the fun times we spent together in our last years of high school and through college. What an incredibly smart and proudly “uncool” group we were. Robin was such an integral part of all of our lives in Plainview. The world is not as fine a place without her smiling, sunshiny face and attitude. Sending prayers and love to all the Kaplans and Pikes.
Love,
Mike & Bob & Rocco
Robin was one of my closest friends in high school. We shared many great times together—working at the library, hanging out at On Parade diner and being a part of the un-cool group. I know we lost touch over the years, but those memories will last forever. May her memory be a blessing.
I’m saddened to hear of Robin’s passing. We met at work in the late ‘80’s and became lunch buddies! That grew into a friendship with a lot of laughs! Although we lost touch with one another, I thought of her often. Until we meet again, my friend. 💔
We were second cousins, on my mom’s side. Although I hadn’t seen Robin in almost 40 years, our families used to get together sometimes when we were younger. I am sad to hear this news.
