Ms. Robinson was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. She graduated from McDonogh #35 Senior High School and Sydney Collier Nursing School. She gave 30 years of dedicated service to the State of Louisiana’s hospital system at Charity Hospital where she passionately served as an on-call nurse and lab technician. She was a devoted and faithful member of St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church, serving in several capacities including an RCIA coordinator; a Catechism teacher; and a member of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Knights of Peter Claver, among other willing service that she gave to her church. Ms. Robinson loved singing and writing poetry and she also loved to travel. She especially loved to go on cruises, which she did every year until she became ill. She was a member of the 55 and faster group who were a group of seniors that celebrated life and loved to have a good time together. She had a host of other friends and acquaintances that she touched with her beautiful personality. She will truly be missed by those whose lives she touched. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic her memorial services will be private and only immediate family members will be in attendance.
