Mary Robinson was given the gift of life on April 16, 1922, in Marianna, Florida to the late Fred Robinson and Beatrice Brown.
Mary was reared by her father who taught her how to work hard and be committed to whatever she accepted to do. His motto was “let your word be your bond” and she made this her motto and passed it on to her children. She was employed in various industries including hotel, restaurant, domestic care and HRS sitter. Her work ethics were impeccable and she committed herself to do her very best no matter what the task entailed.
Mary was faithful to her family and loved them wholeheartedly. Most everyone knew of her passion for fishing; however, she was not only a fisher of fish, but of people of all ages. She cast her net to pull others into her life with stories and words of wisdom while always acknowledging the CAPTAIN. Mary was faithful, ingenious, sincere, helpful, resilient, maternal, adventurous, and nurturing. Her hugs were genuine. Generations of women have gleaned wisdom from her. Humor generated from Godly wisdom filled her presence. Her Mother Wit was intuitive and precise.
She is preceded in death by her parents, six siblings and three children: Robert Davis, Jr., Jenny Davis, and Walter Robinson, Sr. and granddaughter, LaKeyta Swilley.
She leaves a legacy of love with her children: Rosemary Jackson (Willie), Earl Robinson, and daughter-in-law Wilma Robinson. Five grandchildren: Walter Robinson, Jr., Bakari Robinson (Katharyn), Roderick Robinson (Jameka), Earwin Robinson, and LaDashia Hill. Fourteen great grandchildren; Na’Keiste Swilley, Taniyah Robinson, DeQuan Robinson, Kaliyah Robinson, Dominic Nieves, Kamryn Robinson, Evan Robinson, Roman Robinson, Charlotte Robinson, Chandler Robinson, Mya Stewart, Ry’Quise Robinson, Jay’Shon Robinson, and Ja’Kylon Robinson.
