Patricia Ann (Reed) Robinson, 86, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Sunday, August 9, 2020, at her home in Dumfries, VA, from complications of cancer. She was a beloved wife, adored mother, treasured grandmother and great-grandmother.
Patricia was born on August 12, 1933 in McBurg, TN. She was the daughter of Martin and Annie Virginia Reed. She was raised in Tennessee and spent many summers in San Francisco, CA, with her mother. In 1953, she moved to Mt. Rainer, MD, to live with family and to work as a dental assistant. Later that year, she met Donald Robinson of Falls Church, VA, whom she married in 1954.
From their 48-year union, they were blessed with three children: Linda Bozoky and husband
Laslo; Martin Robinson and wife Callie; and John David Robinson and partner Chuck Helman; and one stepson Donald Robinson II; four grandchildren, Bernice, Brandon, Candice, and Michael; and a step-grandson Justin Lake; and four great-grandchildren, Kayla, Abby, Addison and Luke. Also, surviving are a sister Edna Sue and her husband John Edwards; sisters in-law Joyce Ann Williams and Sheila Robinson; many beloved nieces and nephews; and special friends Brenda Walton and Ann Stanley.
She was preceded in death by her husband, a sister Linda Lou and her husband Paul Schuerer and great-granddaughter Valerie Robinson.
In 1982, Patricia retired from United Virginia Bank at Ft. Belvoir, VA. As the matriarch, she placed the importance of family above all other considerations. She was kind, thoughtful, generous, and her acceptance of everyone was something special. Her maternal nurturing always made everyone feel supported and loved. What a beautiful life well lived.
