Natalie Ann Robinson

Born in Woonsocket, she was the only child of the late Israel and Helen (Ginsburg) Rabinovitz.

Natalie graduated at the top of her class in 1946 from Woonsocket High School. She then went on to become a member of Phi Beta Kappa at Mount Holyoke, earning her Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science and History and later a Master’s Degree in U.S. History from Brown University. She was very involved politically in the community and volunteered for organizations such as The League of Women Voters and the ACLU. Mrs. Robinson was a high school teacher at the former ALP School and School One in Providence for many years before retiring.

An avid reader, Natalie enjoyed practicing and teaching yoga, going to the theatre and attending concerts. For close to forty years she treasured time spent with family and friends at her second home on Cape Cod.

Survivors include: two daughters, Leslie Robinson and her husband Stephen Kass of Hamden, Connecticut and Debora Kolwey and her husband Neil of Boulder, Colorado and three grandchildren, Julia Robinson-Kass, Hannah Larson and her husband Todd and Frederica “Freddie” Kolwey.

Leslie and Debora would like to extend their deepest gratitude to the dedicated team of caregivers for the compassionate care they provided to Natalie over the past ten years and to the hospice team for their support in her final days.

Relatives and friends are invited to her Funeral Service on Tuesday, March 22, 2022 at 11:00 am at Sugarman-Sinai Memorial Chapel, 458 Hope Street, Providence.
