Obituary for Jonell Patricia Robinson

Jonell Patricia  Robinson
OAK HARBOR – Jonell Patricia Robinson, age 72, beloved daughter, wife, mother and sister in Christ, passed away peacefully on Monday, May 4, 2015, at home surrounded by her family and friends. She was born May 5, 1942, to Arthur and Mildred (Ramsey) Brehm in Wichita, KS. She graduated from Will Rogers High School in Tulsa, OK in 1960. She married Grafton Loyd Robinson, Jr. on June 23, 1961, in Tulsa, OK. They were blessed with three children.
Jonell was employed as an Insurance Agent in Wenatchee, WA, and Secretary in Oak Harbor, WA, for Modern Woodmen for over 10 years. She began working for Rite-Aid in Oak Harbor, WA, in 1991, and worked there until she retired. Jonell’s true calling in life was as a wife, mother and servant to the Lord. For over 53 years, she faithfully served together with her husband, Pastor Grafton Robinson, for Southern Baptist congregations including, Catoosa, OK, in 1961, and Oklahoma City, OK in 1964. In 1965, she moved with her family to Oak Harbor. In 1974, they moved to Wenatchee, spending 10 years there and returned to Oak Harbor to serve at the Oak Harbor Southern Baptist Church until retirement in 2012. Through countless bible studies, vacation Bible schools, pre-schools and other various ministries, Jonell touched the lives of so many and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
Above everything else, Jonell was most proud of her family. Her three children and their families gave her so much joy and pride over the years. She cherished the many family gatherings where everyone was able to be together and was always snapping photos of the special times. She loved baking during the holidays, tending to her garden and flowers in the spring and summer, her Bible studies and truly enjoyed Gaither Gospel music, I Love Lucy and Wheel of Fortune.
Jonell is survived by her loving husband of 53 years, Grafton Loyd Robinson, Jr. of Oak Harbor; sons Jeffrey Loyd (Patricia), Spokane; James Bennett “Ben”, Oak Harbor and daughter Ruth Ann, Oak Harbor; Five grandchildren, Justin Bowen (Sheianne), Jeremy Robinson, Sutton Robinson, Gerard Gaimari and Graham Gaimari; and two great-grandchildren, Raylen and Gus Bowen.
She was preceded in death by her parents.
A memorial will be held on Saturday, May 16, 2015, at 3:00 pm at Oak Harbor Southern Baptist Church, 50 SW 6th Avenue, Oak Harbor, WA, 98277. Family and friends are encouraged to share memories and condolences at www.whidbeymemorial.com.
While we love her and will miss her greatly, we know the Lord called her home shortly before her birthday so she could celebrate eternal life with Him, walking among the flowers. Those who believe will be reunited with her again in a place far surpassing her earthly home. “Rejoice evermore.” 1 Thessalonians ~ 5:16
