Esther Marion Braddock Robinson

On August 29, 2021, Esther Marion Braddock Robinson (Marion) passed away peacefully in the presence of her Lord and Savior surrounded by her family singing hymns, praises, and thanksgiving for 100 years of a life well lived.

Born on May 20, 1921, in Ocala, Florida; Marion loved and served her family with an unwavering dedication and faithful devotion. She was strong and worked hard coming from the Greatest Generation whose work ethics, frugality, sacrifice and honor not only made the world a better place; but taught her family the value of being trustworthy, responsible, respectful, fair, caring, and good citizens.

Marion is preceded in death by her husband, Fred Robinson. She is survived by her three daughters Brenda Gaines, Constance Garcia, Phyllis Cordova and her son-in-law, Lamar Gaines; who will cherish and remember her love and strength that carried them through life’s laughter and tears.

As each grandchild and great-grandchild were welcomed into the family, Marion spoiled them with love and affection. She treasured each one of them in a very special way. Marion is survived by 9 grandchildren Todd and Susanne Force, Albert and Jinny Force III, Alysia Torres, Annalise Garcia, Denise Cordova, Ramiro Cordova and Marion Cordova; and 8 great-grandchildren John Force, Katerina Force, Matthew Force, Albert Force IV, Jacob Force, Anthony Torres, Michael Perry, and Mia Herndon. She is also survived by a loving step- granddaughter, Kelly Gaines, who enjoyed Marion’s witty sense of humor.

A special thank you to Gail Houghton for your loving kindness and caring of our mother.

In lieu of flowers, donations in honor of Marion Robinson is requested with much appreciation to be given to Arnold Palmer’s Children’s Hospital.
