McDONALD -- Norma J. Robison, 88, passed away peacefully on Friday, April 3, 2026.
Norma was born on Jan. 1, 1938, in Youngstown, a daughter of the late George and Erma Ace Lawrence Sr.
A proud graduate of Mineral Ridge High School, Norma went on to work as a bank teller, where she was known for her friendly nature and warm smile. She found joy in life's simple pleasures -- especially reading, trying her luck at slot machines, solving word search puzzles, cheering on the Cleveland Browns and the Cleveland Guardians and, most of all, spending time with her beloved family.
On May 11, 1957, Norma married the love of her life, William T. Robison Sr., who preceded her in death. She was also preceded in death by her parents; her brother, William "Bob" Lawrence; her sister, Doretha "Deets" Ashburn; and her brother, George Lawrence, who passed in infancy.
Left to cherish Norma's memory are her loving children, Edward "Greg" (Katherine) Robison of McDonald, William T. Robison Jr. of Girard and Kay Robison, also of Girard. Norma was a proud and devoted grandmother to Andrea (Mike) Zupcsan, Michael (Angie) Robison and William (Jasmine) T. Robison III. She was also blessed with great-grandchildren, Samuel Zupcsan, Emmerson Robison, Addy Zupcsan, Brinley Robison and Lionel Robison, who brought her immense joy.
Family and friends may call from 10 to 11 a.m. Thursday, April 9, 2026, at Lane Mineral Ridge Chapel, 1350 N. Canfield-Niles Road, Mineral Ridge, where a service will be held immediately following the calling hours.
Norma will be remembered for her kindness, her love of family and the quiet strength she carried throughout her life.
