Dawn Michele Robison

While many know her as a guard mom or football mom, prior to being that, Michele had a very successful career in the airline industry working her way up to Base Manager (Memphis Crew Base) at Northwest Airlink/Pinnacle Airlines before ultimately choosing to pursue her most beloved job as a stay at home mom. Michele was known for her devotion to family which extended to anyone she decided was a part of her family. She never met a stranger and was “Momma Michele” to many over the years. As a Slytherin, she was known to be mischievous and ambitious. She was always the strongest and toughest in the room while simultaneously being the kindest and most generous. She loved her music, cars, sports, and shoes. She would never miss an opportunity to enjoy the theme parks with her loved ones.

Michele is preceded in death by her grandparents, Pearl “Muddy” Shafer, Paul Shafer, Vera Lewis and Kenneth Lewis; stepfather, Carl “Papaw Gene” Williams Sr.; sister, Gina Williams; granddaughter, Tiffani Pallottino, and beloved dog, Perseus Maximus.

Michele is survived by her husband, Gregory Robison; sons, Mark Pallottino (wife, Michelle Pallottino) and Austin Bright; daughters, Brittany Cisneros and Dallas Bright; parents, Paulette "Gammy" Johnson and Jim Lewis (wife, Elizabeth “Betsy” Lewis); mother-in-law, Marilyn Bradford; siblings, Paul “Jeff” Lewis, Shannon Williams, Carl “Gene” Williams Jr., Virginia “Ginny” Watson (husband, Darrin Watson), and Emily Maupin (husband, Richard Maupin). She was the proud grandmother “Nana Shell” to Christopher Welden, Atom Cisneros, Adelina Pallottino, Erika Pallottino, Giovanna Pallottino, and Giulietta Pallottino, as well as her grand puppies, Bella Rose and Jack Welden. She was also the best aunt to Christina, Taylor, Travis, Shelby, Elaina, Alissa, Cameron, Kyla, Connor, Allen, Hunter, Brandon, Roman, Dominic, Kaylen, Harper, Suzanne, Alley, Jeff, Chase, Lily, and Kyle.

Michele leaves behind a legacy of being the best mom there ever was, of loving and caring for everyone, and of being a truly kind person. She will never be forgotten and will be missed everyday.
