Murphysboro, Ill. —
Wanda Lee Corzine Robinson, 95, of Murphysboro, completed her earthly life on Monday, July 26, 2010 and entered into life eternal.
She was born in Cairo on May 9, 1915 to the Rev. Charley Frank and Emma (Douglas) Corzine. She was united in marriage to the Rev. Dr. Wendell A. Robinson on July 26, 1936, at Centralia Demaree United Methodist Church by her father.

They lived 22 years in Olney in retirement. Wanda was currently a member of the United Methodist Church in Murphysboro.
Wanda was known for her beautiful handcrafts and pound cakes, which she used to bring joy to many parishioners and friends. She was known for her unusual handmade detailed Christmas scenes made from bottles, cardboard, cloth, etc. Her displays ranged from angel choirs, nativities, Marion Square to an African Village. The village was a replica where she and church members worked to build a mission in Africa, in 1978. In 1953 they traveled to Japan to establish a church in a Tokyo suburb. She and her husband were delegates to the 10th World Methodist Conference in Oslo, Norway, in 1961. Travel was a lifelong passion.
