She also adored her great-grandchildren, Anna, Ivy, Jordynn, and Sophia, whose light will carry forward her spirit.

Wilma was preceded in death by her parents, Hubert and Callie Jackson; her husband, Johnnie Edward Robinson; and her siblings, Bobby Jackson, Kenneth Jackson, Patsy Johnson, and Elizabeth Johnson. Their memories live on in the hearts of her family, as they remember a woman who brought love and warmth into their lives.
