Mrs. Robinson was born February 22, 1923 in Baylor County, Texas, and died Thursday, July 1, 2021 in Lufkin.

Lynette was a hard worker who enjoyed helping people. She loved to laugh and never missed an opportunity to make a funny remark. She would often recount stories of her life, recalling things that happened more than 80 years ago and she could remember every detail. We would often laugh at the fact that even at 97 years old, she could tell you where and when she bought a particular item. She enjoyed cooking, painting ceramics, sewing and shopping, but her greatest joy was spending time with her family.  She went pretty much anywhere her daughter and granddaughter went, even traveling on a plane to Orange Beach, AL, when she was 94 to visit her grandson. Everyone loved to have Granny around and she made the most of every opportunity she got to participate and have fun.

Survivors include her daughter, Linda Alexander of Lufkin, Texas; granddaughter, Emily Bradley of Frisco, Texas; grandson, Brent Alexander of Orange Beach, Alabama; nephews, Curtis Dolberry of Holiday, Texas, Rodney Dolberry and wife Reba of Modesto, California; daughter-in-law, Mary Ann Robinson of Houston, Texas; and brother-in-law, Virgil Robinson of Wichita Falls, Texas.

She was proceeded in death by her parents and siblings; husband of 49 years, Walter L. Robinson; son, Glen Robinson;  son-in-law, Wilbur Alexander; and her granddaughter’s husband, Wheeler Bradley.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Hospice in the Pines, 1504 W. Frank Avenue, Lufkin, Texas 75904.
