Carol Jean Robinson

Jean Robinson, 90, of Walla Walla, WA, died surrounded by her family at her home.

She was born in Sprague, WA, in 1933 to Debs and Elma Sarchet. Jean attended Whitworth College before marrying her sweetheart, John. She spent her life following Jesus and sharing His love through teaching, music, and as a Pastor's wife.

Jean was preceded in death by her husband, John Robinson, her sister, Gay Swift, and her parents. She is survived by her brother, Paul (Margaret) Sarchet, four children, seven grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren.

Surviving family includes Mark (Mari) Robinson, Candace (Phil) Tonn, Krista Robinson, Sadie, Gracelyn, and Layla Tonn; Crystal (Justin) O'Brien, Kevin and Eden O'Brien; John (Courtney) Robinson, Brayden and Kade Robinson; James (Lori) Robinson; Micah Robinson; Jessica (Mike) LeDoux, Adelynne, Ellyanna, and Greyson LeDoux; Hannah (Justin) Whitlock, Ashton and Hunter Whitlock; Philip (Lisa) Robinson; Deborah (Dan) Minteer, Talise Minteer.

Jean was passionate about serving Jesus, helping her local church, and supporting missionaries. After retiring from teaching and full-time ministry, Jean continued to serve others. She enjoyed traveling across the country - savoring sites from the rugged Oregon Coast to the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. She grew stunning flowers and had a tenderness for Corgis. Most of all, she loved spending time with Jesus and her family.

Her memorial service will be held next spring at Blue Mountain Baptist Church, with a burial service following at Sprague Cemetery.
