Gloria Ann Robinson (Glo Ann), daughter of the late Mary Thomas, graced this earth on May 11, 1942 in Chaptico, MD. She departed this life on Monday, February 9, 2015, surrounded by family and friends at her residence in Callaway, MD. She was educated through the Maryland Public School System and graduated from Banneker Senior High School.
She was the wife of the late Rudolph Robinson and from this union they were blessed with nine children. Glo Ann was a faithful member of St. George’s Catholic Church in Valley Lee, MD. Her loving spirit and generous heart welcomed all that she encountered. She donated much of her time and resources to helping members of the community and would often go without just to give all that she had. Although a quiet woman, Glo Ann found pleasure in talking with loved ones on a daily basis, attending gospel concerts, family gatherings and singing. If you forgot a birthday, or anniversary all you had to do was call on “Glo” and she could give you an accurate date and year, she had a knack for remembering everyone’s birthday. Never a gambler, she would also watch the lottery everyday just to report the numbers to buddies who played and couldn’t watch – a true friend. Glo Ann especially enjoyed her high school class reunions and time with her classmates. She adored her grandchildren and great- grandchildren; going above and beyond to form a special relationship with each and every one of them.
Now as she embarks on her well-deserved journey to heaven, she leaves to cherish her memory her loving daughters, Sharon Robinson, LaWanda Robinson, Cynthia Price, and Suprina Thompson; sons, Wilbur Robinson, Brian (Lance) Clayton, and Kenneth Robinson. She also leaves sisters, Agnes Robinson, Phyllis (Lawrence) Elam, Donna Thomas; brothers-in-law, Henderson Blackwell (Dorothy Ann) and Everett Robinson; a sister-in-law, Bernadette Thomas; four aunts, Caroline Countiss (Benjamin) , Agnes Queen, Elizabeth Dickerson and Roseanna Shade, a host of nieces, nephews and cousins, 19 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren.
Glo Ann is preceded in death by her mother, Mary Thomas; her one love and husband, Rudolph Robinson; sister, Annie (Ace) Thomas; brothers, James Aloysius Thomas, William Joseph Thomas; sons, Carlton Robinson and Theophilus Robinson.
She was an eminent light in so many people’s lives. Words cannot express how greatly she will be missed; but, we all know that she is smirking (not smiling) down on us today, elated to be in such a glorious place.
Family will unite with friends on Saturday, February 14, 2015 for visitation at 9:00 am until Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 am at St. George’s Catholic Church, 19199 St. George’s Church Road, Valley Lee, MD 20692.
