Patricia Anne Robins Bartlett

PATRICIA ANNE ROBINS BARTLETT, 91, of Charleston, WV, died on February 16, 2024 at Hubbard Hospice House West.
Patricia was born October 26, 1932, in Glen Morrison, WV, the daughter of the coal camp's doctor.
The family moved to Charleston when she was about 13. She attended Stuart Hall School, in Staunton, VA where she played tennis, basketball, and field hockey, as well as piano. She graduated with a degree in psychology from WVU, and was a member of the Chi Omega Sorority.
After her mother invited him to join the family at Robin's Roost on the Potomac River, Patricia fell in love with James Bruce Bartlett. He was awed by her proficiency with the rod and reel, and lack of squeamishness dealing with the occasional eel. They were married in 1956. Patricia was an avid gardener, known for the year-round beauty of her landscaping. She loved classical music and opera and she and her family spent many a happy day boating and fishing on their home built sailboat on the Rappahannock River, where her parents retired. She was a lifetime member of St. John's Episcopal Church.
Patricia was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph Edwin Robins, Jr. and Doris Hagar Robins, her brother, Joseph E. Robins III, her husband, James B. Bartlett, and her son, Bruce Robins Bartlett.
She is survived by her daughter, Elizabeth Jane Bartlett, son in law William S. Yarnell, grandchildren Rowan Kemp Yarnell and James Conway Yarnell, as well as her beloved cousin Kemp Littlepage McElwee.
She did not wish to have a funeral service, those who wish to honor her memory may make a donation to St. John's or Hubbard Hospice House.
