Margaret Ann Robinson of Ghent, NY, our beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother passed away peacefully on October 11, 2022 at the age of 89. Margaret led a very full life. She was a devoted wife and mother and spent many years volunteering to enrich the lives of others. She was the founding President of the NAMI chapter of Hudson, NY, helping guide families through the struggle of mental illness. She was a Eucharistic Minister at St. James Parish, taught CCD to numerous children and volunteered for Meals on Wheels. Margaret always had a big smile for those who encountered her. Margaret was a terrible cook, but a great baker and loved chocolate. She had a very kind heart and a fantastic sense of humor. She enjoyed gardening, attending Mass, crossword puzzles and murder mysteries. Nothing gave her greater joy than being with her large family whom she loved very much. Margaret was preceded in death by her husband of 63 years, James Albert Robinson, daughter Kathleen Robinson and daughter in law Sue Robinson. She leaves a legacy of three generations; her son Robert Robinson of Babylon, NY, daughter Laura Mayer of Ghent, NY, daughter Linda Robinson of CT, son Richard Robinson of Chatham, NY and daughter Diane Manahan of Salem, MA. her grandchildren Jennifer Mayer, Andrew Mayer, Kathleen McKiernan, Brendan McKiernan, Melanie Gabrell, Rowan Manahan and Charlotte Manahan, and she especially loved being GG (great grandma) to Oliver Cumpston, Stella Cumpston, Linden Mayer and Gene Gabrell.
