Parcourez la nécrologie de Dorothy ‘June’ Robinson 1931- résidant dans la province Colombie britanique pour le détail des funérailles
Our beautiful Mom, Nana, Great Nana and dear friend to many, passed away peacefully in the early hours of October 15th, at the age of 92, with her three children at her side.
She is survived by her children, Loreen (Ivor), Steve (Gail) and Lisa (Bruce), all of Kamloops and their father, Del Robinson of Chase; grandchildren, Chris (Erin), Matt (Michelle), Alana (Tyrone), & Griffin and great-grandchildren Elliot, Joey & Raelynn, and the newest member, baby Owen. Predeceased by grandson Jeff.
Dorothy ‘June’ Arthur was born to Eleanor and Gordon Arthur in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, but shortly after her parents divorced and June was raised by her mother only until the age of nine, when her mother married Ab Thiessen. The family moved to Chilliwack, BC when June was a teen. While she attended Chilliwack High School, and shortly after, she made many lifetime friends, including Joan, Ruth and Audrey.
June married Del Robinson in 1951 and they later settled at Cultus Lake, near Chilliwack, where Loreen, Steve & Lisa were all born. During the 1964 building boom the family relocated to Kamloops, along with many others. A tight-knit community developed with the Dabners, Colletts, Johnsons, Kennys, Burns, Alberts, Belyks and Beamishes with many rollicking get-togethers over the years, kids and adults alike.
As children we used to gamble on making her laugh when she was annoyed with us. It was a risk as to whether she’d laugh and it’d all blow over or she’d be twice as mad and we’d regret it! She was a generous and gentle Mom and Matriarch, always welcoming everyone. She cooked hundreds of amazing holiday dinners and was a baker extraordinaire with her apple and lemon pies!
As we grew older Mom worked first at the Kamloops Sentinel and then for many years at the Kamloops Daily News, starting as a casual, stuffing flyers into the paper and ending as the Manager of the Classified Department.
She and Dad retired to a lot in Chase where they built their home of many years along the golf course. Golfing had become a passion for both of them in later years, lasting into their 80’s. Mom thoroughly enjoyed a good book and played many hours of Bridge, always laying out her best when it was her turn to host.
In 2011, Mom moved independently to Kamloops, living for several years at the Acacia Tower on Nicola Street until, sadly, vascular dementia took her first to Overlander for 6 months and then to Pine Grove Care Centre. Mom received the very best of care, love and attention at both facilities. For the last several years her ‘family’ at Pine Grove has been home and haven for “June Bug”. Much love to you all! Also warm thanks to Dr. Barbara Prystawa and Dr. Andrew Wynne for their kind and gentle care.
The family will gather for a dinner to reminisce with love about a great lady.
