Nancy Rubino Obituary
Nancy Katherine Collins Rubino, beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, died peacefully at her home in Bethesda, Md. A retired Montgomery County reading specialist and proud Vassar graduate of 1948, she lived a life of compassion, service and love for her family and her community. In 2017 Cardinal Donald Wuerl individually recognized her, as well as other lay Catholics from the Washington Archdiocese, with the "Manifesting the Kingdom" award "for serving the Catholic Church and their communities faithfully and reflecting Christ's mission."
She is survived by her six children, Michael Rubino (Mary McGuire Rubino), Anna Rubino (Dick Schneider), Margaret Rubino, Cecilia Rubino (Peter Lucas), John Rubino (Arabella Hutter), and Helen Rubino (Paul Turco); 15 grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren: Katherine Rubino Nash (Nathaniel Nash VI) and children, Nathaniel VII and Saoirse; Michael G.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 69 years, Michael J. Rubino; her parents, General J. Lawton "Lightning Joe" Collins, U.S. commander of Utah Beach during D-Day and Army Chief of Staff (1949-53), and Gladys Easterbrook Collins; her brother Joseph (Jerry) Collins and sister Gladys Collins Stenger, and her great-granddaughter, Anna Djamalov.
