It’s with great joy, celebration (and sadness) that Nola Yvonne Robinson finally went peacefully to be with her Lord on October 1, 2019 in her 99th year, at Cobourg Extendicare. Beloved wife of the late Basil Robinson (February 2012). Loving mother of Jim Robinson (Marie October 2017), Deb Benn and Mike Robinson (Nora). Cherished grandma of Corey Watts (Jen Fenton) and Carli Watts, Dallas Baker, Michael and Marlon Robinson-Santos. Dear great nanna of Cole Watts. Nola was a longtime employee of the A&P in Port Hope and a devoted member of the Camborne United Church, with a longtime involvement in the United Women’s Auxiliary, attending several Conferences. We would like to thank the nurses, staff and Dr. Nearing at Extendicare for their wonderful, kind and compassionate care you showed our mother during her 5 plus years in your facility. She could not have been in a better place!! A memorial service will be held at the Camborne United Church on Saturday, November 23, 2019 at 11 a.m. Donations to the Northumberland Humane Society would be appreciated.

I was saddened to learn of Nola's passing. She was a wonderful woman. Kind, compassionate, caring and always supportive of me. I has missed our conversations. My condolences to the entire family.
Sadden to learn of your loss,Deb
My condolences to the entire Robinson clan. A life lived like those of both Basil and Nola is to be envied and admired. I am sure you all have a lifetime of great memories. My thoughts to all of you, and especially Mike whom I have not seen since Basil's funeral. Take care, Terry
Dear Debbie,What a wonderful picture of your mom, it's exactly how I remember her from our youth! I am sad that your family is going through this, there is never a good time, is there? However, she had a long life and I bet that smile was always there!Please accept my sympathies, and I do hope to see you sometime....or would we recognize each other?? LOL!
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's well over 40 years ago, but I immediately recognized that lovely smile. I had the paper route in Camborne in the early 1970's, and Mrs. Robinson always had a moment for a quick chat, and never failed to invite me into her kitchen to warm up for a minute on cold and wet days. I have such fond memories of her, and while I'm sorry to hear of her passing, I'm delighted to learn that she lived such a long and full life. My thoughts are with you. Kevin
