Anita (Gordon) Robinson

• 

Robinson (Gordon), Anita 94 years old, of St. Louis Park MN, was born in Virginia MN and died on April 13, 2020 from COVID-19 complications. She was preceded in death by the love of her life, George J. Robinson; parents, Abe & Rose Gordon; cousins, Gale (Frank) Rothman and Joni Schwartz; and many aunts, uncles and cousins. Survived by sons, Jay and Gary; brother, Howard (Barbara) Gordon; nephews and nieces, Ben Gordon (Mary Taber), Lynn Gordon, Robert (Mary Sue) Stefanik and Bonnie Shegog; cousins, Peggy (Steve) Fried, Eileen (Allen) Jolowsky, Sheila Silverman, Barry (Devora) Rothman, Shari (Tony) Corwin, Saundra Fried; and dear longtime friends, Ruth Schloff and Loisann Eaton. Anita was a proud Iron Ranger and a graduate of Roosevelt High School, Class of 1943 and the University of Minnesota. In 1950 she married George J. Robinson, and after residing briefly in Hudson WI they made their home in St. Louis Park, raising two children, Jay and Gary. She was employed by Westwood Jr. High School from 1970-1988 at which time both she and George retired and spent their winter months in Las Vegas for nearly 15 years. Anita was a member of Sholom Home Auxiliary, Temple Israel, Women's American Ort, and was a volunteer at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center Medical Library. To the very end, there was nothing more important to Anita than her family. She will be forever loved and missed by all who were fortunate enough to have known her. Special thanks to her extraordinarily compassionate and caring nurses, aides and therapists at Jones-Harrison Residence, who literally treated her like family throughout her stay. Memorials preferred to donor's favorite charity. Due to Covid-19 no Shiva or public service will be held. Hodroff- Epstein 612-871-1234 hodroffepstein.com
