Cecelia Ellen Robinson

Cecelia was the youngest of three children with two older brothers, Salvatore (Sal) and Eugene. She graduated high school at 17 and matriculated to Purdue University where she graduated with a B.S. degree in Speech Therapy. While taking a summer school Spanish course at Purdue, she met the love of her life, C.B. Robinson. They were married April 22, 1957 in Dallas, Texas. Their love will last for eternity.

C.B. and Cecelia (lovingly referred to as Cece) were blessed with 6 children in the span of 9 years as C.B.’s pilot career with American Airlines had them crisscross the United States from Dallas to San Francisco to Connecticut and finally back to Denton, Texas living in their dream home in the Southridge neighborhood for 49 years.

Once C.B. retired in 1990, they traveled extensively with a particular interest in elder hostels throughout the United States where they were constantly learning and growing.

A devout Catholic her entire life, Cece and C.B. called St. Mark’s Catholic Church in Argyle, Texas their spiritual home until C.B.’s passing in 2017. She then became a parishioner at All Saints Catholic Church in Dallas, Texas continuing her tradition of Saturday evening mass and dinner with her children as escorts.

She is survived by her 6 children, their spouses, 14 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren.
