 Kathleen
Patricia Robinson, age 76, passed away on
January 3, 2016 at Life Care of Sandpoint in
Sandpoint, Idaho. Services to be announced later
in the spring.
Kathleen was born on February 27, 1939 in
Wadena, Minnesota. At the age of 5 years old
Kathee and her family moved to Boardman, Oregon
in 1944 where they farmed and she and her sister
Pinky performed in many dance recitals. Kathee
lived in Eastern Oregon the remainder of her
youth, where she saw Bill Robinson across the
street in Pendleton, Oregon. Kathee said “that’s
the man I’m going to marry.” And they were
married on April 8, 1958. They sent 51 years
together until Bill passed away in 2010.
They had three children, Kelly Sue Golladay,
Keith William Robinson and Dennis Dale Robinson.
She and her family moved all over Oregon,
Washington, California and Canada, finally
resting in Porthill, Idaho.
While living in Porthill, Idaho, Kathee mentored
at all three elementary schools. The children
she mentored and taught art to were a light in
her life, and she spoke of each one of them as
if they were her own grandbabies. Kathee also
acquired many dear friends in the teachers and
staff of the schools.
Kathee loved family gathering, gardening,
painting socializing, animals, music (of all
kinds), Scottish ancestry, books and strategy
games, especially mahjong. She loved mahjong and
the ladies so much; I think she would have
crossed avalanche country to play mahjong on
Wednesday and Thursdays with her friends.
Kathee is survived by her brother Dennis, sister
Sherryl (Pinky), daughter Kelley, son Keith and
several grandchildren and great grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her father George,
mother Wilma, Brother Mike, husband Bill, and
son Dennis Dale.
Kathee will be greatly missed by all who knew
her and loved her.
Family and friends are invited to sign Kathee’s
book at

are entrusted to the care of Bonners Ferry
Funeral Home. |
