She was born June 16, 1940 in Peoria to Bernard and Elsie (Fuson) Robinson.
Mary is also preceded in death by her parents, Bernard and Elise as well as step-dad, Jim Lantz; brother, Bernie Robinson; and sister, Sandy McCloud.
She is survived by her daughters, Jackie (Bobby) Gorrell, Tammy (Randy) Henry and Lori (Richard) Sherman; grandchildren, Mike, Shannon, Brandy, Russell and Bobby; and many great-grandchildren; her two sisters, Linda Eaton and Sharon Bass; one brother, Larry (Mary) Robinson.
Mary worked for Caterpillar Canteen as a waitress for many years.
Her life was enriched by her many passions, including bingo, bunco, and bowling. Whether she was dabbing numbers on a bingo card, rolling dice with friends, or aiming for the perfect strike at the bowling alley.
Mary treasured her family. She was devoted to her family and her children. Mary's home was always filled with laughter and love.
One of Mary's most remarkable qualities was her ability to connect with others. She never met a stranger—only friends she hadn't yet had the pleasure of getting to know. Her open heart and welcoming nature meant that anyone who crossed her path was instantly embraced as a member of her extended family. Mary's capacity for forgiveness and her unwavering kindness touched the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Visitation will be held on Saturday, April 13, 2024 from 2 – 4 PM at Remmert Funeral Home, East Peoria, with funeral service to immediately follow.
