MOLLY MAY ROBINSON of AMHERST, MASS, January 19, 1925 – December 11, 2019
Molly May Robinson, age 94, passed away peacefully on December 11, 2019. She was born January 19, 1925 in England, to Albert and Bertha Kenzie. She became a war bride when she married the love of her life, Wilfred Robinson, in October of 1944.
Molly arrived in the states as a passenger on the Queen Mary. She loved to sew and was also a great cook. Plus, she was an avid knitter, skier, golfer, camper, and…surprisingly for someone from England…a Red Sox fan.
Molly worked at the Amherst Regional High School for many years. She will be remembered for her tireless and meticulous work in processing hundreds of college applications for high school seniors, while at the same time supporting the guidance counselors.
Molly is survived by daughter Pamela (Robinson) White and husband Tom White, daughter Lynn (Robinson) Watson and husband Gary Watson; grandchildren, Kristin Pettus and Megan White, step-grandson Cliff Watson; plus her many nephews and nieces, all of whom she loved deeply. Molly’s first great grandchild, Connor, is scheduled to arrive in March 2020.
Molly was pre-deceased by her husband Wilfred, who passed away in 2014, and her brother William (Bill) Kenzie, who passed away in 2009.
Please join us in celebrating her life on Monday, December 16th, between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. at the Douglass Funeral Home in Amherst, MA. Burial will follow at the North Amherst Cemetery.
