Barbara Estelle Robbins, 95, passed away on October 19, 2026, in Grapevine, Texas. Barbara was born on October 13, 1931, in Colbert, Oklahoma, to Pete and Frances Hale. She was raised in Colbert and graduated from Achille School in 1950.
In 1952, Barbara married Jimmie Dale Robbins, and together they shared 66 years of marriage before his passing. They raised three children and built a life centered around faith, family, and love.
Barbara was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was a homemaker and also worked for Grapevine Public Schools for more than 12 years, serving in the lunchroom, helping with food preparation, ordering supplies, and caring for the students she served.
A woman of strong Christian faith, Barbara always put God and her family first. She was someone her loved ones could count on, whether they needed a helping hand, a listening ear, or simply a little extra love. She enjoyed watching the Texas Rangers play baseball, working word puzzles, traveling, and visiting Riverstar Casino. She also enjoyed caring for those around her, often making sure everyone had what they needed. Whether it was clothing for someone in need or a homemade blackberry cobbler made with berries fresh from the patch, Barbara was always happy to give of herself.
