Woodene Linda Robinson, 90, of Conroe went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Wednesday, January 22, 2025. She was the only child to Woodrow Wilson Throckmorton and Opal Cates Throckmorton and was born on January 20, 1935. After growing up in Oklahoma City, Woodene went on to attend college at Oklahoma City University on a full music scholarship where she met and married Rudy Donat. Together they had four children – Christopher, Machele, Terry and Kathy. Later in life she met and married her husband, Bob Robinson, where she gained two more daughters, Cindy and Susan, and their family grew to a family of 8. They moved to Houston, Texas where she worked and raised their family, providing everlasting memories and experiences for all of them. Woodene was an accomplished pianist. She played piano and organ in the church beginning at age 12 and continued to do so for the rest of her life. Woodene’s foundation for her family was based on having a strong faith in God and spending as much time with her family as she could. This is her generational legacy that she has left for not only her children but also her grandchildren and great grandchildren – faith and family.
In the final journey of Woodene’s life, there was not one day that went by without her thanking anyone and everyone for taking care of her. She will be forever remembered for her grace, her gratitude and selflessness. Woodene’s family would like to thank all of the caretakers at Heritage Oaks for their amazing care and love. The family would also like to thank Benchmark Hospice of Montgomery for their guidance, exceptional care and love for Woodene and the family.
Woodene was preceded in death by her parents, Woody and Opal Throckmorton, her husband, Bob Robinson and her son, Christopher Donat.
She is survived by her children, Machele Donat and husband Harry Herr, Terry Donat and wife Tina, Kathy Hatcher and husband Mike, Cindy Ann Robinson and Susan Thacker and husband, Steve. She is also survived by numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren of which she was so very proud!
Funeral services will be held at Metcalf Funeral Home on Tuesday, January 28th, at 3:30. Internment will take place on Wednesday January 29th at Rose Hill Burial Gardens in Oklahoma City.
In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Woodene can be made to Methodist Day School, 4308 West Davis, Conroe, Texas 77304, where she was involved in the music programs for the children.
