Robin L. Kaplan of Westborough, a senior store equipment specialist for TJX Companies, died Tuesday aboard American Airlines Flight 11 in New York. She was 33.
Ms. Kaplan was born in Brookline and raised in Framingham. She graduated from Framingham North High School in 1986 and graduated from Worcester State College in 1990.
She worked for TJX for eight years and was described as her department's ''go-to'' person. She was headed to California to prepare for the opening of a T.J. Maxx store. She had returned to work this year after recovering from Crohn's disease, a life-threatening illness of the digestive system.
She leaves her parents, Francine (Gotz) and Edward Kaplan, and a brother, Mark A., all of Framingham; her grandparents, David and Lorraine Kaplan of Natick; and three nieces.
A memorial service will be held Sunday at 3:30 p.m. in Temple Israel in Natick.

New York Times Portraits of Grief
What is the point. . . .
. . . of doing something if not all the way?
So at 10, Swede Joseph Chevalier plants pumpkin seeds, then sells his harvest to nursery schools around Middletown, N.J.
At 16, he starts a landscaping business that he keeps going by commuting home weekends from Cornell, and throughout his time at Cantor Fitzgerald, where he was, at 26, an assistant equities trader.
Don't just join a fraternity: be president for two years and then get inducted into Cornell's honor society for campus leaders.
Don't just admire cars: trade up four in six years and drive them too fast.
Don't sit back and watch sports: fling yourself at them, especially speed-and-thrill ones like ice hockey and mountain biking.
Do define crash-dieting as a day fueled by 10 puny power bars, and a dinner that begins with lasagna, hamburgers, sausage and chicken and keeps on going.
Do choose a favorite song from a new CD, play it loudly, over and over, until everyone sings it in their sleep, regardless of whether they actually like it.
Do be overprotective of your mother, Elaine; sisters, Tylia and Brittany; girlfriend, Melissa Markewich.
Gamble big. Lend happily. Love fully. Never sit still.
