It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved mother. In her final moments, she listened as we expressed our love for her, read Psalms, and sang Jesus Loves Me & Amazing Grace. Then, Jesus came with the Angels to escort her to Heaven. She handled her battle with cancer with grace and dignity, with the help of family, friends, caregiver Heather Lane and Bronson Hospice Care.
Nancy was born in Warren, Ohio to Thomas and Evelyn (Hudson) Glass. She left Ohio and came to Dearborn, MI where she met her husband Billy T Hart and father of her two daughters, Terri (Art) Mucciante of Presque Isle, MI and Sally (Larry) Bentley of Vermontville, MI. She married Warren M Robinson in 1965 and moved to Garden City, MI. She established a 32 year career starting as a cord board operator in Detroit at Michigan Bell and retired as a manager of Operator Services with AT&T. She was preceded in death by her husband and in 2012 it was time to leave the big city and nestle into her comfy apartment at Pennock Village in Hastings, MI.
Also left to cherish her memory is her beloved sister, Sally (Frank) Allen of West Farmington, Ohio and nephews Frank (Leighann), TJ (Bonnie) & Bob (Carla) Allen. Her grandchildren Terri (Ben) Turner of Lawrence, Kansas, Sarah (Dave) Schreuder of Paw Paw, MI, Richard (Brooke) Spaiser of Scott's, MI and Thomas "TJ" (Nina) Bentley of Vermontville, MI & currently serving in the US Army, Germany will greatly miss their Granny. She dearly loved visits from her great grandchildren Olivia, Jack, Aiden, Ashlee, Violet, and Kingsten.
Nancy loved to spend time with her family and have a few drinkypoos with her pals at Uncle Rays, Dearborn Heights, MI. She was the life of the party and always had a joke or funny story and song to share. She was an amazing cook, specializing in Swiss steak and pies. To know her was to love her indeed. Hospice nurse, Shannon, summed her up with this: "She had me at Hello!"
Respecting her wishes, no traditional funeral will take place. Instead, we will gather friends and family to celebrate her beautiful life in late spring. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to charities that were dear to her heart: The Ronald McDonald House, Wounded Warrior Project, and St. Rose Catholic Church of Hastings, MI.
