Emily Lovell Robinson

Mrs. Emily Lovell Robinson, age 86, of Roswell, Georgia, passed away on Friday, October 12, 2018. “Emily Jane”, as her family called her, was born on March 22, 1932 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the daughter of the late John Windsor Lovell and Rena Mae Alber Lovell.

Emily received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Political Science from Michigan State University as a Delta Gamma sorority sister. She was married in 1958 to her beloved husband, George Robinson, and for thirty-six years they made memories and loved each other through thick and thin. Emily worked for many years at LOMA, and then, in “retirement,” she worked for over 15 years at Fellowship Bible Church, her home church. She participated in research for Huntington’s Disease, was a volunteer with and a President of the Huntington’s Disease Society of America, volunteered at Saint Joseph’s Hospital - singing at assisted living homes with the Singing Saints, volunteered at her church, was a sponsor in Al-Alon, and consistently supported missionaries and causes dear to her heart.

Emily had the gift of being an intent listener, a wise counselor, and of showing and sharing the love and grace of her Savior, Jesus Christ, to everyone. She became a born again Christian at the age of 41, and at the core of her being was her love for the Lord. She had a way of making everyone feel loved and accepted, but knew when to speak the truth when it needed to be heard.

In her spare time she enjoyed bird watching, traveling around the world, cross-stitching, attending the opera with friends, listening to music, dancing, and relaxing at the beach with her extended family. One of her greatest joys came from being a caring mother to her four children and spending time with her eight grandchildren. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister, Auntie Em, role model and friend; Emily will certainly be missed by all who knew and loved her.

While suffering from dementia in recent years, she struggled to maintain her vitality and independence, yet she never lost her warm and sweet disposition. To her family's great relief, she passed away peacefully with her children surrounding her.

Along with her parents, Emily is preceded in passing by her husband, George Martin Robinson; her infant son, Paul Allen, and four siblings, John Lovell, Robert Lovell, James Lovell, and Catherine Cole.

Survivors include her four children, Leslie Greer (James) of Lawrenceville, GA., Lisa Robinson (Steven Brazeale) of Woodstock, GA., Patricia Hindt (Brian) of Canton, GA., and John Robinson of Atlanta, GA; eight grandchildren, Kristi, Jeremy, Jennifer, Eric, Claire, Collin, Emily and Reece; three great grandchildren, Beckham, Parker and Eve; and several nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends also survive.
