Beverly Ann Wilkins Robinson formerly of St Johnsbury and
Lyndonville passed away early Tuesday morning, Jan. 22 2013,
eight days shy of her 83rd birthday, at Green Mountain Nursing Home
in Colchester. Beverly was born to George and
Evelyn Wilkins on Jan. 30, 1930. She was one of seven children. Bev
attended school in St J and graduated from St Johnsbury Academy in 1948.
On Jan. 30, 1950 she married Donald H. Robinson. They raised
four children Cynthia (Cindy), Donald (Don), Thomas (Tom), and William (Bill).
During her life Bev worked at the Hovey's Shops, Peck Hardware and
owned her own sandwich business. She was also bookkeeper for St
Andrew's Episcopal Church for many years.
Growing up we remember many happy hours camping with our
extended family, and in their retirement Mom and Dad enjoyed many
years as seasonal campers at Lake Side Camping and Will-O-Wood.
Bev was a faithful St Johnsbury Academy alum, and a member of
Eastern Star and served as Worthy Matron.
Mom was a feisty, hard-working woman who loved to shop, play
cribbage and spend time with her family. A week ago she was
cracking jokes and causing mayhem at FAHC. She will be greatly missed!
She was predeceased by her husband, Donald in 2000; her
daughter-in-law Linda (Villeneuve) Robinson in 2003; her parents,
three brothers: Kenneth, Richard and his wife Ann; Robert and his
wife Elfrieda; two sisters, Priscilla Barrett and her husband, Roland;
Jane Donna and her husband, Roger.
Beverly is survived by her four children: Cynthia Lamb and her
husband, Jack, of Jericho; Donald Robinson of Swanton; Thomas
Robinson and wife Melanie (Tori) of Colchester; William Robinson
and Cindy Clark of Lyndonville. She also leaves her grandchildren:
Christopher Robinson and Doddie Boylan; Nathan Robinson;
Jonathan Robinson; Brandon and Lura Beth Barrows; Cameron
Barrows and Callie Brynn; Connor Barrows; Kasey and Joel
Robinson; Benjamin and Paige Robinson; James Robinson; her great
grandchildren: Cody, Lindsay and Hunter Robinson; Caleb and Taylor
Robinson Ladue; Sidney and Chase Robinson; her brother Stanley
Wilkins and his wife Mary, of St Johnsbury; a sister in-law, Georgette
