Mary Frances Robinson

Mary Frances Robinson, 88, of Harmony went home to be with her Lord on Friday with family by her side, while under the care of St. John Specialty Care Center in Mars.

Born June 8, 1929, in Pittsburgh, she was the daughter of the late Edward Clouse and Mary Meyer Clouse.

Mary grew up in Lancaster Township with nine brothers and sisters who all helped raise vegetables on the family truck farm.

She attended the one -room school house in Middle Lancaster and Zelienople High School. Music and dancing at Burgh's dance hall was a weekend highlight of the time.

In 1952, Mary made her first trip west with her brother Jake to see the Grand Canyon and visit her brother George in Phoenix. She loved to travel and made many memorable trips to visit family and natural wonders in Arizona, California and Georgia.

Mary enjoyed bluegrass and country music. She especially enjoyed going to festivals where her nieces Dolly and Peggy would play.

Mary was a faithful member of Grace Bible Church in Middle Lancaster.

She and her husband, George, enjoyed gardening and growing a small home orchard. She was employed by Step Saver Cabinets and later Mine Safety Appliances in Evans City. She retired from MSA after 25 years of service but continued friendships with her coworkers.

Mary was a devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother and grandmother. Family was always first and foremost in her life. She adored her grandchildren, Michael and Katelyn. She loved to visit her brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews. She will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered.

She is survived by her children, Randy R. Robinson (companion Paula) of Shepherdstown, W.Va., and Sharon K. (Michael) Caccamo of Middle Lancaster; two grandchildren, Michael D. and Katelyn M. Caccamo; a sister-in-law, Lois Clouse; and many nieces and nephews.
