Robin Dorrine Fortney

ROBIN DORRINE FORTNEY, 66, of Fort Gay, WV, formerly of Enterprise, WV, was graciously escorted home on the wings of angels to be with the Lord on Monday, November 9, 2020, surrounded by her loving family.  Robin was born October 20, 1954 in Fairmont, WV, a daughter of the late Delores Basnett Pennell and the late George Mayle.
