Robin Langley Sommer began her career as an advertising executive in New York City in the 1960’s and began her writing and editing career specializing in architectural history and the arts in Greenwich, CT in the 1970’s.
She has lived in Greenwich since moving here after graduating Summa Cum Laude with a double major in History and Journalism from Loyola University in New Orleans.
She published 39 books of her own, as well as doing in-depth research for well-known authors of history books until her retirement.
She is survived by her two children, Veronica Sommer Mollica and Eric Sommer and three grandchildren, Ryan Mollica, Grace Mollica and Everest Sommer, brother George Langley, sister Veronica Langley, sister Kelly Langley Moore, and sister Kim Langley Fichter.
Robin was very intelligent, beautiful and passionate about what she believed in. She touched the lives of many people, enjoyed reading and gardening, and loved animals. She sang with the St. Mary’s choir for many years and was an active member of the community.
Robin died as she did everything in her life, with dignity and grace.
