The Lincoln University Alumni Association has lost a dear friend, LOIS ELLEN MARTIN ROBINSON. The Chicago Chapter grieves at the passing of a tremendous individual but also for the loss her family suffers. Please take a moment to read the obituary prepared for publication below and take time to say a prayer for Lois’ family and friends.

Lois Ellen Martin Robinson, 75, loving wife, mother, sister, aunt, and friend transitioned to her next journey on Saturday, November 7, 2009, surrounded by her husband, Rufus Robinson; daughter and son-in-law, Marguerite and Walter Hampton; brother, Lloyd Farris, and nephew, Konnya Farris.

Mrs. Robinson was born October 11, 1934 to Percy and Sylverene Farris in Decatur, IL. Shortly after graduating from Lincoln University in 1957, she moved to Chicago, where she has been a resident for over 50 years. In 1974, she received her Master of Social Work from the University of Illinois. Throughout her professional and personal life, Mrs. Robinson was a fierce advocate for children and families through her employment with the State of IL, and Chicago Board of Education. She also actively served in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority and the Chicago Chapter of Lincoln University (MO) Alumni chapter.

Mrs. Robinson was devoted to her faith and was a member for several decades of the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church. Her services will take place on Friday, November 13 at Antioch Missionary Baptist Church, 6248 S. Stewart Avenue, Chicago, IL. – Breakfast repast and viewing, 10am – 1230pm; Service, 1230pm-130pm. Dr. Gerald M. Dew, Pastor, presiding. Interment will immediately follow service at Oak Woods Cemetery, 1035 E. 67th St, Chicago, IL
