- Robinson, Bessie Jane (Spivey)
Age 95, departed to her heavenly home on Tuesday, December 21, 2004, at the Hospice of Hamilton at Sunrise. She was born to George and Sarah Ellen (Anderson) Spivey on December 14, 1909, in Burning Springs, Kentucky. Bessie’s mother passed away when Bessie was five years old. Her father later married Sarah Elizabeth Shelton (Hoskins) Spivey, who became a loving mother to Bessie and her siblings. In her teens, Bessie moved to Hamilton, where she married Herman Robinson on August 22, 1928. They were married for almost fifty years before Herman passed away. Together they formed a caring and loving home for their four children which was always open to family and friends. As their children married, each spouse was accepted with love as their own. Bessie was a devoted wife and mother. Holidays were special for her, as she was surrounded by her family. We all grieve the loss of our mother: Rosemary (Ebbing) and the late Jack Robinson, Carol and Bob Woebkenberg, Gail and Stanley Fannin, and Bill and Dianne Robinson. She will be sadly missed by her children, twelve grandchildren, seventeen great-grandchildren; seven great-great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. Bessie was precede in death by her parents; her loving spouse, Herman; her eldest son, Jack; four brother, Henry, Arthur, Elza and Willie J.; and three sisters, Stella, Eunice, and Josephine. Funeral service will be held at the Brown Dawson Funeral Home, 330 Pershing Avenue, on Thursday, December 23, 2004 at 2:00 p.m. with Rev. Marvin Cann, Pastor of Adult Senior Ministries at Princeton Pike Church of God, officiating. Burial will follow at Greenwood Cemetery.
