"Blessed are they that die in the Lord … they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them." Revelation 14:13. Our loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt and friend went to be with her Lord on Monday, May 12, 2008, at St. Clare Manor in Baton Rouge. She was welcomed at heaven's gate by her late husband, the Rev. Walton A. Robinson Sr. Always proud of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, she surrounded herself with their photos in her home and her love for them in her heart. Serving the Lord Jesus Christ was an important focus of her life as she and her husband organized Calvary Baptist Church, Denham Springs, and pastored Immanuel Baptist Church, Denham Springs, and Satsuma Baptist Church, Livingston. A native of Central, she was a devoted Sunday school teacher for more than 65 years, most recently at Zoar Baptist Church, where she loved "her girls" in the Busy Bee Bible class. Visitation at Zoar Baptist Church was on Wednesday, May 14, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Visitation resumes at the church on Thursday from 10 a.m. until service at 11 a.m., conducted by the Rev. Kevin Hand, the Rev. Glen Miers and the Rev. Teryl Hebert. Speakers will be Bodi White and Bobby Callendar. Burial in the church cemetery. Arrangements by Greenoaks Funeral Home. Mom leaves to cherish her memory, a son and daughter-in-law, Walt and Jan Robinson, of Brandon, Miss.; and daughter, Patricia Gail Robinson Morgan. She was also loved dearly by her four granddaughters, Lisa Robinson Smith and husband Barry, of Sterrett, Ala., Angie Morgan Wall and husband Jason, Michelle Robinson McLamore and husband Shawn, of Brandon, and Ashley Morgan Patin and husband Deron. Her loving great-grandchildren include Christopher Smith, Hannah and Hayley Wall, and Matthew and Lauren McLamore. Extended family include five sisters, Martha Bergeron, of Central, Dot Hunt and husband Dee, of Zachary, Letha Carpenter and husband Trigger, of Baton Rouge, Florence Devall and Mamie Aubin, of Central; sisters-in-law, Carol White and Frances Robinson, of Central; and numerous nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by her loving husband of 54 years, the Rev. Walton A. Robinson Sr.; parents, Evans and Lizzie White; two brothers, Mack White and Eli White; three brothers-in-law, L.J. Bergeron, Eugene Devall and Raymond Aubin; sister, Lucille Shumate; and sister-in-law, Edna White. Pallbearers will be her grandsons, Jason Wall, Deron Patin, Barry Smith and Shawn McLamore; nephews, Bobby Callendar, Brian White and state Rep. Bodi White; and family friend, Jake Sessions. Honorary pallbearers will be her nephew, Ronnie Devall, and great-grandsons, Christopher Smith and Matthew McLamore. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Gideons International and The Louisiana Baptist Children's Home. Special thanks and recognition is given to the Busy Bee Bible class of Zoar Baptist Church for their devotion, love and support. The family wishes to especially thank St. Joseph Hospice and sitter Angelia Smith for their devotion and care. Mom will always be remembered as a devoted wife, a tender mother and a loving friend. "Her children will rise up and call her blessed." Proverbs 31:28.
