Inez "Ganny" Robinette, born Zelma Inez Siler on July 30, 1941, in Eufaula, Oklahoma, passed away peacefully on September 19, 2025, in
Wilburton, Oklahoma. Her passing marks the end of a life filled with unwavering faith, boundless love, and a legacy that will continue to shine through the many lives she touched.
From her earliest days in Eufaula to her final moments in Wilburton, Inez lived a life rooted in compassion and guided by her deep devotion to Jesus. Her faith was not just a part of her life-it was the foundation of it. She was an active and beloved member of Red Oak Assembly of God, where her prayers were powerful and her presence unforgettable. Her spiritual influence extended far beyond the church walls; she is remembered as the reason so many came to know Jesus. Whether through prayer or simple conversation, Inez shared her faith with grace and conviction.
Known affectionately as "Ganny," Inez embraced this role not only within her family but throughout her community. Her home was a haven for countless foster children over the years-each one welcomed with open arms and treated as family. To them and many others, she wasn't just a caregiver; she was Ganny-a source of comfort, laughter, and unconditional love.
Inez is survived by a large and loving family who carry forward her spirit and values. She leaves behind her sister Catheye Wood and husband Bob; brother Mike Siler; brother Rick Siler and wife Peggy. She was preceded in death by Mike's wife Charlotte. Her father JD Siler and Mother Virginia Delay.
Her legacy continues through her eight children: John David Robinette and wife Peggy; Sheri Parker and husband Paul; Bennie Robinette and wife Tamara; Natia Anderson and husband Josh; Rebekah Moyer; Jessica Smith and husband Michael; and Jacqueline Robinette. She also leaves behind 21 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren-each one blessed by her unwavering support and joyful presence. She also leaves behind a dear friend and caretaker, Irma Williams, and her family.
Inez had an extraordinary gift for making everyone feel seen and loved. Whether she was out shopping (a favorite pastime she rarely left empty-handed), at the doctor's office, or simply walking down the street, people were drawn to her warmth. She never met a stranger-only future friends-and had an infectious laugh that could light up any room. Her humor was quick, her hugs sincere, and her door always open. She was witty until her last days.
She loved deeply and without hesitation. Her family knew they had no greater cheerleader than Ganny-she reminded them often how proud she was of each one of them. Her acceptance knew no bounds; every person who crossed her threshold felt like they belonged.
Though words can scarcely capture the full measure of Inez's impact on this world, those who knew her will remember a woman whose heart overflowed with kindness, whose faith never wavered, and whose laughter echoed long after she left the room.
May the memory of Inez "Ganny" Robinette bring comfort to all who were fortunate enough to know her-and may we honor her legacy by loving as fiercely as she did.

Visitation will be held on Tuesday, September 23rd, at Jones Harkins Funeral Home from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm.
