Patricia A. Robinson

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our sweet and beautiful mother, Patricia Ann Robinson, who was called home on Saturday, October 25, 2025. Born on September 17, 1938, to John and Bettie Svoboda, Pat lived a life defined by love, kindness, and unwavering devotion to her family.

On October 5, 1969, Pat married her soulmate, Howard “Robbie” Robinson. Together, they built a life full of laughter and love in Ohioville, where they raised their two daughters. Pat was a devoted mother whose gentle spirit and nurturing heart made her the very best. Her hugs could heal, her listening ear was always available, and her presence brought comfort to all who knew her.

Pat’s joy came from caring for others—family, friends, and even strangers who quickly became friends. She had a gift for conversation and a heart that saw the good in everyone. Her love for the holidays was infectious, and she passed down her passion for decorating and celebrating to her daughters, creating cherished traditions that will live on.

A true angel on earth, Pat’s compassion extended to all creatures, especially her beloved cats, who were as much a part of her family as anyone else.

Pat leaves behind a legacy of love and is survived by her daughters, Shannen Robinson (Steve Olash) and Sonsheehray (Paul) Modany, both of Ohioville; sister Karen (Ruben) Rodriguez of Los Angeles, CA; brother John Svoboda of Lake Placid, FL; brother-in-law Arnold (Barb) Robinson, Shinnston WV. and sister-in-law Melba Adams, Orlando, FL. She also leaves behind two honorary grandchildren, Lacee Olash and Matt Modany, along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends who will forever hold her memory close.

She is reunited in heaven with her beloved husband, Robbie, who passed on March 6, 2001; her parents; her brother, Gene Svoboda; her sister, Betsy Giries; mother & father-in-law, Emsie & Leslie Robinson; sister-in-law, Bettie Quickle & brothers-in-law, Pete Ice & Audie Lane Robinson; and a special niece she missed dearly, Karen Creamer.

As per Pat’s wishes, there will be no public visitation. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Friday, October 31, 2025, at 10:30 a.m. at St. Augustine Parish, St. Blaise Church, Midland. Interment will take place at Sylvania Hills Memorial Park, Rochester. Online condolences may be shared at nollfuneral.com.

Pat will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her family extends heartfelt gratitude to The Orchards at Fox’s Nursing Home in Chester, WV, for the compassionate care provided during her final days.
