Mary Kathleen Robinson

90, passed away peacefully in Scottsdale, Arizona on May 23, 2013. The daughter of William Allen and Maude Della Rose, she was born and raised in Claremore, Oklahoma. In the 1940’s she moved to Oklahoma City to work for the war effort. There she met a handsome young Marine, David D. Robinson. Married in 1946, they were together sixty-four years, until his death in 2010. They were blessed with eight sons: David, William, Danny, Randy, Robert, Kelly, Gary and James. Raising these boys, nurturing them into the men they became, was her life’s work. She was a beautiful, selfless soul who inspired all who knew her through her kindness, thoughtfulness and generosity of spirit. As her eighteen grandchildren and four great grandchildren can testify, she was always there with a sweet smile and an encouraging word. A soft spoken gentle woman who taught by example, she earned the love and respect of her family and friends. At peace with herself and accepting of others, she was the wellspring of a home rich in love and compassion. She will always remain in the hearts of those who were lucky enough to know and love her.
Kathy was predeceased by her twin brother, Marion Kenneth, sisters Eunice and Alice, and brother Ivan. She also leaves behind two sisters, Della and Serena, and her six daughters-in-law. A private memorial service will be held for the family on June 1, 2013. A Celebration of Life will follow. She will be interred at the National Veterans Memorial Cemetery where she will join her beloved husband.
