Longtime OSU football secretary passes away

Longtime Oklahoma State football administrative assistant Joyce Robbins passed away Monday.

Robbins died of natural causes. She was 73.

Robbins worked for six Oklahoma State football coaches during her 30 seasons in Stillwater. She served under Jim Stanley, Jimmy Johnson, Pat Jones, Bob Simmons, Les Miles and Mike Gundy.

Robbins spoke highly of her time inside the OSU football office in a 2001 story in The Oklahoman.

"I've been here long enough now that the kids who were coming in as freshmen are coming back as coaches," said Robbins, who was coaxed out of a brief retirement by Miles after he was hired.
