Patricia “Patty” May Robinson, 89, of Lumberport, passed away on Saturday, May 18, 2024 at Bridgeport Healthcare Center. She was born in Clarksburg on April 29, 1935 to the late Pedro Pete Aiello and Ora (Wolfe) Aiello.
Patricia was a graduate of WI High School, class of 1953. In 1997, she retired from Union Carbide as an engineering secretary. Patty was always known by friends, family and coworkers as a kind, gentle and loving woman who deeply believed in God, family and country. She was always active and loved bowling, swimming and tennis. She would always be cheering on the Bridgeport teams, Pittsburgh teams and WVU teams. Her dream vacations included trips to the beach and Deep Creek Lake. When she wasn’t working, cooking and cleaning for her husband and seven children, she was playing piano, watching musicals and loved being the director of the choir at the Johnson Avenue United Methodist Church and was a member of the Bridgeport United Methodist Church. She always made any holiday a big celebration. She was very patriotic and loved supporting the Veterans and 4th of July. She would bake and decorate everything for all the holidays.
She met the love of her life, Shellis Robinson, at work in 1971 and three months later, they were married. They spent the next 52 years together. They raised their seven children and loved going to country music concerts, baseball games and football games together. Patty even learned to squirrel and deer hunt with her husband.
Patty is survived by her husband, Shellis Robinson of Lumberport; four sons: Terry Robinson and wife Barbara of Mayflower, AR and their daughter Debra; Steve Robinson and wife Anita Lumberport and their son Joey; Dann Hardman of Morgantown and Patrick Robinson and daughter Carina of Lumberport; three daughters: Sharon Hardman Pernell and husband Jerry and their daughter Shelby and son Mackenzie of Bridgeport; Cathy Morgan and husband Don and their daughter Miranda and sons Charles and Andrew of Lumberport and Carolyn Robinson (deceased) and her sons William and Matthew, as well as many great grandchildren.
