Born on Dec. 7, 1939, passed away at home on Jul. 14, 2004 in Pleasant
Hill, CA. Born in Bellfontaine, OH, daughter of Herb Lakin and Helen
McClure (both deceased). Tiffany attended Ohio State University. Survived
by Rick Lakin, brother. Rick resides in Chula Vista, CA. Tiffany is also
survived by a number of cousins residing in OH. Robert Martin and Tiffany
Lakin were married in Las Vegas, NV 41 years ago. Robert comments that
"Tiffany was his lifetime companion and his forever angel." Tiffany
was on the Burt Children's Center board of directors, San Francisco,
CA. The Burt Children's Center was founded to house and assist Autistic
Children. For 13 years Tiffany was a regular on WBZ Radio's Bob Raleigh
show, Boston. Her weekly talk appearance as a psychic, was heard in 36
states, in addition to Canada and the Bahamas. As an award winning writer,
poet and photographer, Tiffany loved the creative process. Tiffany
(along with Robert Martin and friend Steven Barrymore) founded 21st
Century Vision, a structured audio and visual experience for guided
relaxation. Tiffany began her teaching career with her own development
of Magical Thinking, a revolutionary new approach to restructuring a
person's belief system. She taught Magical Thinking in San Francisco
for many years. Tiffany requested cremation. Robert Martin would like
to thank Kaiser Hospice in Martinez, CA for all their assistance and
comfort, and recommends this program for anyone in need. Contributions,
in lieu of flowers may be directed to Hospice or the Lung Cancer Society.
Memorial services will be scheduled later this year.
