Judith-May Robinson, 86, gently left her earthly body in the early hours of Saturday, December 14, 2025, crossing peacefully sometime during the night of December 13—the same sacred date her beloved husband, William Harper Robinson, passed three years earlier. After nearly 61 years of marriage, a lifetime of devotion, and three years apart, Judith found her way back to Bill, reunited in heaven by a love that never faded and was never broken by time.
She will be laid to rest beside him in the Salisbury National Cemetery 501 Statesville Blvd, Salisbury, NC on January 23, 2026 at 1:30pm following a formal service at Raymer-Kepner Chapel, 16901 Old Statesville Road, Huntersville, NC 28078 from 11:30am-12:30pm.
She leaves behind her daughters, Wendy-Sue McKinney and Debi Ballard Wright (husband Wallace Wright, Jr) ; her siblings Terri Lunn, Bonnie West and Kathy West and joins her brother Richard West in heaven. She also leaves her eight grandchildren, Shelby Ballard, Caitlyn Ballard, Sydney McKinney, Kayla Wright, Ashley-Lynn Mckinney, Dylan Wright, Simeon Ballard and William McKinney; and six great-grandchildren, Lexi, Lucas, Jack, Dameron, Aurelius, and Nayomi. Judith’s love for her family was protective, steady, selfless, and enduring—offered fiercely but quietly through presence, support, and unwavering care.
Judith was a deeply creative and artful soul. She expressed love through her hands, crocheting blankets that warmed generations and painting keepsakes meant to be treasured forever. Though she dreamed of becoming a teacher and was unable to pursue that calling formally, she lived out that purpose in meaningful ways—working in her daughters’ school and later volunteering at her grandchildren’s elementary school (probably her favorite thing), where her gentle spirit, patience, and kindness left a lasting impression on many young lives.
Professionally, Judith was a dedicated and respected office manager for a thriving Pizza Hut franchise, known for her reliability, organization, and strong work ethic. She balanced her professional life with a deep commitment to home and family, always guided by love.
Judith was preceded in death by her husband, William Harper Robinson, the great love of her life. Their marriage was a rare and beautiful example of true love—built on loyalty, friendship, faithfulness, and shared life. Even after his passing, their bond remained unbroken. That Judith joined Bill on nearly the same date speaks to a love so complete it transcended this world, carrying them together into eternity.
She will be remembered for her quiet strength, creative heart, her devotion to family, and the profound love she gave so freely. While she will be deeply missed, her family finds comfort in knowing she is once again beside Bill—together after what must have seemed a lifetime apart, joined by a love that continues beyond this life.
Forever grateful for the love you showed us and the example you set—now together again just as you were always meant to be. Love always, Wendy-Sue and Debi
Let all that you do be done in love. ~1 Corinthians 16:14
