Jennie Lynn Robinson – 77, Debert, passed
away peacefully, with Tracy and Tami at her side, on Wednesday
evening, July 20, 2022, at Halifax Infirmary, QEII, Halifax. Born in
Salmon River, Colchester County, she was a daughter of the late John
and Lila (Singer) Urquhart and foster daughter of the late Logan and
Minnie McLean.
Jennie worked as a custodian at Camp Debert, NATO Site at
Folly Lake and for Colchester East Hants District School Board at
Debert Elementary School, Douglas Street Elementary School, Valley
Elementary and Wentworth Elementary School.
She enjoyed quilting, and was very patient with that hobby as
she practiced applique, sometimes working on the same quilt for many
years. She was an avid outdoorswoman who enjoyed hiking, downhill
skiing, cross country skiing, walking, and fishing for bass and trout.
She did enjoy watching hockey and cheering on her favourite team,
Toronto Maple Leafs.
Jennie marched to the beat of her own drum, however, she had
a heart of gold. She was her grandchildren’s biggest fan and
they will forever hold cherished memories in their hearts and minds.
She was a very bright, feisty and unique spirit who did things her own
way.
Jennie is survived by her sons, Tracy (Tami Cory) Robinson,
Debert; Scott (Andrea) Robinson, Calgary, Alberta; grandchildren,
Sarah Robinson, Debert; Logan Robinson (Leanne Smith), Debert; Grace
MacDermott, Calgary, Alberta; Claire Robinson, Calgary, Alberta; great
granddaughters, Leah Robinson and Lilah Robinson, Debert; brother,
Alton Singer, Bedford; sister, Eleanor Chouinard, Ontario. She will be
missed by her dear friend, Dorothy Adams, and her beloved feline
companion, Baby.
Along with her parents and foster parents, she was
predeceased by her husband of 47 years, William Ivan “Bill”
Robinson; siblings, Joyce Singer, Paul Singer, and Sharon
Rushton.
All are invited to attend a graveside service that will be
held 6:30 p.m., Thursday, July 28, 2022, at Folly Mountain Cemetery,
just past 1846 Trunk 4, Folly Mountain. If so desired, donations in
