Elizabeth Bell Robison died peacefully at home in Nashville, Tennessee at the age of 89 on January 29, 2013, several weeks after her late husband, Charles D. Robison, Jr. Betty, as she was known, was born on April 21, 1923 to Elizabeth Jernigan and Alex H. Bell in Norfolk, Virginia. Betty graduated from St. Margaret's School in Tappahannock, Virginia and attended the William & Mary extension college, now Old Dominion University.
Betty and Charlie began a loving 68-year marriage on September 2, 1944. Charlie's naval career provided interesting assignments in Newport, San Diego, Charleston, Norfolk, Nashville and southern France. Their love of travel and adventure began during this time, which they both fully enjoyed for many years.
In 1962, they moved to Nashville. Betty was a devoted homemaker, mother, wife and the consummate, gracious hostess. She was an active community volunteer and was involved in The Junior League, St. George's Episcopal Church, The Colonial Dames of America and Travellers Rest Plantation. Her home was always open to family and friends from near and far.
She is survived by her children, Charles D. Robison, III (Kathy), Alexander B. Robison of Nashville and Elizabeth R. Cabell (Charles) of Richmond. She is also survived by five grandchildren, Charles D. Robison, IV, Katherine R. Baker, A. Lloyd Robison, Elizabeth D. Robison, J. Hunter Otterson and two great granddaughters.
