Elaine E Robinson

Elaine E. Robinson, beloved mother, cherished grandmother, and devoted wife, passed away peacefully on March 22, 2025, at the age of 97. Born on February 20, 1928, Elaine lived a life filled with love, joy, and countless cherished memories.

Elaine began her career as a hat check girl at the prestigious Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It was here that she met her handsome Army Ranger husband-to-be, C. Frederick Robinson. The couple married in August of 1950, embarking on a journey together that would last for 75 beautiful years. Their partnership was filled with mutual respect, unwavering support, and deep affection.

Throughout her life, Elaine embraced her role as a devoted housewife, managing the home front with grace while nurturing an adventurous spirit. She loved to travel, and the Fraternal Order of Foresters allowed her and Fred to explore many parts of the United States and Canada together, creating lasting memories that they would treasure forever.

One of Elaine's greatest joys was family gatherings, particularly the special moments spent with her grandsons, Bryan and Kevin. They brought profound happiness into her life, and she lovingly recalled how Bryan took his first steps at her house, a milestone that filled her heart with pride. Kevin, with his vivid imagination, delighted her as he played the role of Raphael from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, weaving another thread of joyful memories for Elaine.

In 1992, Elaine and Fred relocated to Arizona from California, drawn by the desire to be closer to their son Terry, his wife Pauline, and their wonderful grandsons. It was a move that would fortify the bonds of family further. Little did they know that Elaine’s niece, Shirlee, and her husband Bob Downs would also make their way to Arizona from Colorado, settling just across 99th Avenue, fortifying familial ties.

Elaine touched the lives of everyone she met, her kindness radiating warmth and love. She was a source of strength and a guiding light for her loved ones. She is survived by her loving daughter-in-law, Pauline Robinson; her treasured grandsons, Bryan and Kevin Robinson; her nephew and wife, Michael and Jude Robinson; her niece and husband, Shirlee and Bob Downs; and her loyal companion, Bowie – My Little Buddy.

Elaine is Preceded in death by her husband Fred and a son Terry.

Elaine will be deeply missed. We will carry her spirit with us, cherishing the laughter, love, and wisdom she freely shared. Although she has left this earthly realm, her reunion with her beloved husband Fred and their son Terry brings comfort to those who mourn her loss.

As we reflect on her life, we take solace in knowing that Elaine's legacy will continue through the lives she touched, and in our hearts, she will remain forever. Till we meet again, God bless you, dear Elaine. May you find peace and joy in the next chapter of your journey.
