Evelyn Lavern Whiting-Robinson

Mrs. Evelyn Lavern Whiting-Robinson

Mother Evelyn L. Whiting-Robinson, 80, of Toledo, Ohio gained her heavenly wings on Saturday July 13, 2024, in Hospice of Northwest Ohio after a lengthy battle with cervical cancer. She was surrounded by her loving family during the time of her transitioning.

Evelyn was born in Toledo, Ohio to the late Robert Owen Brown and Martha (White) Brown on March 4, 1944. She accepted Christ at an early age and was a member of Friendship Baptist Church where she served as a member of the Mother’s Ministry. Mother Robinson worshiped the Lord and was a faithful servant. She was employed for many years at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center before retiring.

Evelyn enjoyed watching movies, watering her plants, cooking, listening to gospel music, spending time with family and talking on the phone. Before ending a call, she would always say “I love you and God loves you more”. She was a fun, spiritual and compassionate person who loved life and her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was a people person and never met a stranger. She was a caring and loving daughter, mother, sister, wife, mother-in-law, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, cousin and friend. Her smile and personality would light up any room she entered, and she is greatly missed by all that knew and treasured her.

She is preceded in death by her parents Robert Owen Brown and Martha (White) Brown, husband John Robinson, son Willard V. Underwood Jr., brothers Napoleon Brown, Kenneth Lee Brown, Robert Brown, sister Phyllis Weaver and great grandson Bleu Jay Brewer. Her memory will be cherished by daughters Martha (Kirk) Bacon of Springfield, Ohio, Diana Owens of Holland, Ohio, Joyce Scott, Michele (Gerald) Webb both of Toledo, Ohio and son Kevin Whiting of Urbana, Ohio, 23 grandchildren and 31 great grandchildren, her favorite cousin Ruth Dickerson, friends Cynthia Woodward, Katerina “Kat” Nicks and Pat Hill, Goddaughter, Alisa Woodward, and her beloved dog, Legend.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, July 27, 2024 at 11:00 AM at Friendship Baptist Church, 5301 Nebraska Ave. Toledo, OH.  Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of Northwest Ohio.
