Anna May Robinson, aged 86, passed away on April 11, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of love, dedication, and a life full of vibrant interests. Born on January 20, 1938, in Jasonville, Indiana, Anna ultimately drew her last breath in Bicknell, Indiana, surrounded by the love and memories of her close-knit family.
Anna’s story is one of heartfelt connection and industrious spirit. For eighteen years, she poured her talents into Gossard’s sewing factory, making a mark with every stitch. Later, she joined the team at Presolite battery manufacturing, showcasing her adaptability and work ethic. Through her professional journey, she never lost sight of the joy in life, cultivating beautiful spaces as she tended to her passion for flowers and gardens.
The First Baptist Church of Bicknell counted her among its members, where she found fellowship and grace within her church family. These bonds only added depth to her abundant life, as she cherished each moment spent with her loved ones.
The definition of family extended widely for Anna. Her daughter, Lora Wheatley (Jim), was a testament to Anna’s strength and love. Three grandchildren, Kelsey Wheatley , Josh Jones, and Jeromie Taylor, alongside great-grandchildren, Lucy Wheatley , Kathy Wheatley , Ian Jones, Brendon Jones, Oaklee Taylor, Brinlee Hisman, and the littlest joy of her life, great-great granddaughter Ivory Jones, will forever carry the warmth of her guidance and affection.
Anna was the cherished sister of Lorene Pierce of Linton. She found her place among a large family, now fondly remembered by those who preceded her in passing: her parents; her daughter Kathy Taylor; her son, Alan Jones; seven sisters, Corine, Frieda, Flo, Gloria, Doe, Tot, and Marge; three brothers, Richard, Bud, and John; and her adoring boyfriend, Ray Braun.
As the sun sets on the life of Anna May Robinson, her luminous spirit remains as a source of inspiration, a radiant memory imprinted on the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
