Jean Frances Robinson passed away in Commerce Township Michigan on Thursday December 6, 2018 at the age of 91. Jean had 3 children, 7 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. She had a bachelor’s degree from the University of Illinois, a Masters Degree in Education from the University of Michigan and continued to take graduate level courses at Ohio State University so that if she had chosen to take the time to write a thesis she could have received her PhD in education. She taught elementary school in Westerville Ohio for 30 years. After retirement she enjoyed traveling (also as part of a multi-state chorus that toured Europe), singing, quilting, and many other activities with her family and large circle of friends. She loved to read and taught all of her children and grandchildren the joy of reading and lifelong learning. Jean was so interested in learning that well into her 80’s she and a friend would audit classes at the local college (Otterbein) just for the joy of learning. Jean was a very independent woman who was always positive, always learning, and always involved in many things. She loved her old red house that was within walking distance of downtown Westerville and only gave it up in the last few years when she needed more support from family. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. Memorial Visitation will be held Saturday, December 15, 2018 from 10:00am until the time of the Memorial Service at 11:00am at the Highland Chapel of the Elton Black & Son Funeral Home, 3295 E Highland Road, Highland. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to your local library.
