I leave behind, for now, my companion Verdie Cramer of Bucyrus, OH; my mother, Joan Robinson of Columbia; my four siblings, Toni, wife of Glenn Hallacher of Wrightsville, Chuck, husband of Diane Robinson of Columbia, Tammy Musser of Columbia, Joni Sausman of Wrightsville; my nieces and nephews, Cain, Tara, Kelsey, Chelsi, Emily, Jacob, Sara, and Luke. I even have six great nieces and nephews and two more on the way! My father, Charles, preceded me in death in 1990 and my grandparents, Thomas and Catherine Price and Russell and Ruth Robinson did too.

Please come celebrate my life at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, October 4th, 2018 at the Clyde W. Kraft Funeral Home, 519 Walnut Street in Columbia. Also, visit with my family beginning at 10:00 a.m. until the celebration begins. Please do not send me flowers. Instead, you should donate to the Columbia Boys Athletic Association (CBAA), PO Box 372, Columbia, PA 17512 or the Columbia High School Booster Club.
