Grace L. Robinson

June 23, 1926 - January 16, 2019

Grace Alice (Leonhardt) Robinson, age 92 of Loudon, TN passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her loving family, early Wednesday morning, January 16, 2019. She had been in declining health. Born in Staten Island, NY to the late Gustav and Grace Leonhardt, Grace moved to Southern New Jersey at an early age and graduated from Vineland High School. She then married her late husband John and they moved to Millville, where she lived most of her life, until three years ago, when she went to live with her daughter in Loudon, TN. Grace worked at Bell Telephone Company as a telephone operator for over 32 years, and retired. She loved animals of all types, especially cats. Grace always looked forward to being outdoors at home, and loved sitting in the sunshine. She especially enjoyed going to Ocean City to the beach for more sunshine, and the boardwalk as well. Grace also treasured the time that she was able to share with her family. Grace will be sadly missed by her two daughters, Terry Robinson of Millville and Diane Robinson Cates (Jon) of Tennessee; two sons, Robert Robinson of Delaware and David Robinson of Millville; one brother Eugene Leonhardt of Inglis, FL; four grandchildren, Jonathan (Brittany), Cassie, Robert Jr., and Anthony; and one great-granddaughter Lily Abigail.
