Narve Robinson

After 102 years, 3 months, and 1 day walking this earth, Narve Robinson ‘earned her wings’ and passed away peacefully on October 2, 2016 to join our maker in heaven. Narve was born on July 1, 1914 to Ed and Mary Lou Robinson in Montgomery, Alabama, where she attended school through eighth grade before moving to Greensboro, AL. It was there that she met and married Edgar Robinson with whom she started a family, having two sons, Roosevelt and Lovell. After moving to Docena, AL, Narve joined St. Matthews Baptist Church where she became a member of the church Usher Board and also became a member of the Eastern Star where she served many years. Narve worked at Lloyd Noland Hospital as a nurses aid for more than 35 years. After retirement, she cared for her mother until her mother’s death at which time she became the care provider for her mother’s sister (Eddie Mae Flowers) until Narve suffered a stroke in 1997. Following the stroke, she moved to Camden, DE for her recovery and to be near her son Lovell, and daughter-in-law Pauline. Following several years with Lovell and Pauline, she later regained her independence and moved to Luther Tower’s facilities until a time when she required around the clock care provided at Silver Lake Rehabilitation Center. She remained there under their tremendous care until her recent death. Narve was preceded in death by her late husband, Edgar Robinson and her son Roosevelt Robinson.
