Patricia Allean Robinson, affectionately known as "Pat" or "Patti," passed away peacefully at her home in Bethesda, Maryland on January 8, 2025 at the age of 76, following a lengthy illness.

Born on March 11, 1948 in Long Branch, New Jersey, Pat was the daughter of Howard and Dorothy Sidney. She graduated from Deptford High School in Deptford, New Jersey in 1966. In 1968, she married the late Louis Charles Robinson-Smith and together they built a loving family with their two daughters, Kelli and Staci.

Pat enjoyed a fulfilling career with N.J. Bell Telephone (now Verizon) where she dedicated 30 years of service. Beyond her professional accomplishments, she was a devoted mother who cherished her daughters deeply. Her unwavering love for her family and pride in their achievements were evident to all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her beloved daughter Kelli Robinson; her parents Howard Sidney Sr. and Dorothy Sidney; her brothers Howard Sidney Jr., Erskine Kenneth Sidney, Albertino Sidney, and Jason Sidney; her sisters Grace Ella Sidney and Evelyn Clark; her grandson Brandon Robinson; and her loyal canine companion Lil Man.

Pat is survived by her daughter Staci (Ray) Ferguson, her aunt Anna Elaine Solomon, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and a host of other relatives and dear friends.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Howell Funeral Home 10220 Guilford Road Jessup, MD 20794 on Saturday, February 1, 2025 at 11:00 AM.
