Tawauna Robinson Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 22, 2013.
Tawauna Robinson, 45, of Moore, Okla. died Monday, May 20, 2013 when a massive tornado struck the Oklahoma City suburb.

She is survived by son Lamar Robinson of Moore and daughter Angeletta Santiago of St. Louis. Santiago had planned to move to Oklahoma City on Tuesday to be near her mother.

Friends have started a GoFundMe page to help the family with costs associated with the tornado.

---

Robinson's daughter , Angeletta Santiago, was planning on moving from St. Louis to the Oklahoma City area to be closer to her mom because she was suffering several health issues.

She planned to leave Tuesday morning.

A day earlier, Robinson called her daughter to tell her that the tornado had touched down and she was going to take cover in her closet. It was around 2:30 p.m. Monday.

The brief conversation ended when Robinson told her daughter, "I love you," and then hung up, news station KSDK of St. Louis reported.

After the storm hit, Santiago frantically tried to get information about her mother, taking to Facebook to see if she could find any piece of helpful information.

Robinson's house was destroyed. It was located near the Plaza Towers Elementary School, which also was ravaged by the storm.

I know that the Robinson family and friends are overwhelmed at this time. I can only pray that our creator will give a special portion of his spirit to you all in this time of need. King David wrote; ''God will become a secure height for anyone crushed, a secure height in times of distress" May he bring comfort to you all.

We truly do live in critical times, hard to deal with (2 Tim. 3:1). After reading the comments on here, I can't help but think that soon beautiful memories will exceed the sadness you are feeling at this time. Ms. Robinson must have been a wonderful lady - so MANY kind words for her. And, what a beautiful smile! My prayers and thoughts will continue to be with your family.

My heart is broken Neicey! You were one special lady, nobody else in this world like you..surely an original! I can't believe this, my Dad and now you in less than 2 months, it's crazy. I realize God knows best even if at times we may not understand HIS plans...I pray you're having a grand time in heaven and I rejoice in knowing that you have NO more pain or suffering, you deserve peace and rest! I love you :)

Hey girl I really don't know what to say because from the time I found out I have been at a lost for words but I do have plenty memories of us in high school you was always at my house making us laugh and saying what was on your mind and you never let anyone talk bad about me if you were around. I love you and will miss you girly but I still will have my talks with you and I know you will listen and let me know what you think. You were the sweetest person I knew so fly angel fly and watch over me.

Hi..My name is Jason. I live in Blanchard Oklahoma. I was at Tawuana's residence right after the tornado. I have been grieved and burdened for her and her family since then. I finally found her name and this website. I am so very sorry for your loss. I am confident by the great big smile on her face and all the beautiful comments about her that she was an inspiration and stable to all around her. I would direly appreciate any information about her memorial service if anyone has it. I am a minister and I would be very honored to attend. I sure hope I am not too late. For the family, my heart grieves with you over your loss. As someone from the outside of your lives I simply extend my heart felt compassion and prayers unto you all! I am very sorry for your loss.

My deepest sympathy is with you on your loss. It is obvious that your family will miss this special person in your lives. These are truly “critical times hard to deal with.” (2 Timothy 3:1) May the peace promised in God's word (John 14:27) be active and may you all be helped to endure these difficult times.

WOW!!!! I can't believe that im actually writing a remembrance for you Niecey...this is so unreal. Thesev last couple days I have sat back and reflected on all the the great times that we shared...the laughs, cries, dancing in the living room...helping you pick out your clothes to go out and party...we had some great times together...you were my sister-in-law as well as my friend. Reading all these posts just validates what a wonderful person you were...you touched many lives...never met a stranger...everyone felt at home in your presence..you will greatly be missed and will always be remembered...i miss you sis...until we meet again. .

My dearest T. So glad I got to see you on Mardi Gras at the Bistro. That we were both in STL at the same time is rare. Like everyone, I am in utter disbelief, and will be for a while. I am sad that both you and PeeWee left us, it's beautiful that you went together...
