Marilyn Robinson

Marilyn Robinson, beloved wife, mother, Ganny and friend, passed into the presences of her Lord and Savior on December 2, 2021. Marilyn was born Jan. 6, 1946 in Wills Point, TX to Odell and Audie Wright, both of whom met her in Heaven along with her son, Rusty Johnson, grandson, Jeremy Johnson, two brothers, Gerald and Leonard Wright and nephew, Dean Wright. Marilyn grew up in Wills Point and graduated from the high school after which she began working for many years at the Terrell Safeway Grocery Store in the meat department. She was a familiar face to the many residents of the surrounding area and the first thing everyone noticed was her beautiful smile. The only thing brighter than her smile was her personality which could light up every room Marilyn walked into. She continued to brighten people’s days as her career at local grocers took her to Super One in Greenville and, finally, to Sack ‘n’ Save in Mesquite, where she finally retired to spend more time with her beloved grandchildren and, then, great grandchildren. Lovingly known as Ganny to them, she thoroughly enjoyed every moment she was blessed to spend with them. Their stories, games and their outings were absolutely cherished by Marilyn. She also enjoyed getting together with her family and eating out and Marilyn could often be found reading books on all subjects. She and Wesley were members of Union Valley Church of Christ where they made many friends while serving the Lord. A wonderful woman with the friendliest and most charming personality, Marilyn will be greatly missed but never forgotten by all who knew her. She is survived by her husband, whom she married on October 21, 1989, Wesley Robinson of Royse City; son, Rod Johnson of Canton; grandchildren: Justin Johnson and wife, Brittany, Jordan Johnson and wife, Reagan, Kaylie Johnson, Justin Pendleton and wife, Kali, Samantha Pendleton and husband Brian Perea; ten great grandchildren; brother Jack Wright of Marshall; brothers-in-law: Donald Warner and wife, Virginia, of Royse City and James Cagle and wife, Pat, of Mt. Pleasant, TX, and her beloved puppy dog, Sugar, as well as many other nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Funeral service will be 11:00am, Wednesday, Dec. 8, 2021 at Max Slayton Funeral Chapel with interment to follow at Cana Cemetery in Canton, TX. Her family will receive friends 6:00pm to 8:00pm, Tuesday, Dec. 7, at the funeral home.
