Margaret was born in Ware Shoals, SC to the late Maude Pegg (Thompson) Tino and Oscar D. Tino. Margaret was a committed Christian and an active member of Fairview Baptist Church where she was a member for over 73 years. She previously taught Sunday School and was involved in many activities in the church throughout the years. Margaret was a very warm and accepting person with a wild streak. Margaret was valedictorian of her 8th Grade Class. She loved the color red and was ready to go bungie jumping for her 80th birthday, but unfortunately, it was closed. Margaret had an open door and she considered everyone family. She was an excellent cook and seamstress. She worked at Firestone Mill and Pharr yarns before retiring from Homelite Texton. Margaret’s family, church family, friends and neighbors will all miss her.

Her husband, G. K. Robinson, precedes Margaret in death. Her daughter, Carol Pearson, sister Florence Shepard and her brothers Bill Tino and Jack Tino also precede her in death. Her grandsons Doug Robinson and Joseph Morgan also went on before her.
