Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 25, 2025.
Leanna Caroline Robinson, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on September 16, 2025, at the age of 88.

Born on June 2, 1937, in Michigan, Lea was the daughter of Henry and Bertha Hadler. She graduated with honors from Big Rapids High School in 1955 and married Gerald Robinson in 1958.

Lea and Gerald lived in Michigan Center, Michigan, where Gerald taught at the high school and Lea worked for 25 years at Aeroquip Corporation in Jackson, Michigan. After retiring, they moved to Kings Gate Club in Venice, Florida, where they spent more than 30 years as active and cherished members of their community. Lea enjoyed playing cards, baking, making new friends, and welcoming visits from family. She was an exceptional baker, especially known for her delicious pies that delighted friends and relatives alike.

Lea is survived by her husband of 67 years, Gerald Robinson; her three children, Randall Robinson (Karen) of Holt, Michigan, Sandra Dawson (Russell) of Greensboro, Georgia, and Scott Robinson (Karissa) of Grass Lake, Michigan; six grandchildren, Andrew Robinson, Katey Robinson, Ryan Robinson, Jennifer Sanford (Doug), Matthew Dawson, and Macey Jeffares (Tyler); and two great-grandchildren, Sophie Sanford and Merrit Jeffares.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Bertha Hadler, and her brother, Paul Hadler.

Lea will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by her family, friends, and the many members of her communities in Michigan and Florida.
