C. George Robinson
July 29, 1928 - August 7, 2015
C.George Robinson, 87, passed away Friday, August 7, 2015, in the house he built in Stinnett, Texas. The funeral service will be held on Tuesday, August 11 at 10:00 in the Stinnett Church of Christ under the direction of Brown Funeral Home. Visitation will be Monday, August 10 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Stinnett Church of Christ. Burial will follow at 3:00 PM at Memory Gardens Cemetery in Amarillo, 14200 I-27.
George was born July 29, 1928, in Camargo, Oklahoma to Joe and Florence Robinson. He served in the Army as a military police officer during the Korean War.
He married Geneva Ann Devin on November 20, 1960.
George served as a teacher and then as the business manager for the Stinnett school system for more than 35 years. While George loved the community of Stinnett, his first love was always his family. Years after leaving the family farm where he was raised, George continued to cling to the farm values and culture. He was always more comfortable in work clothes than in dress clothes. Every chance he got, he pulled on lace up work boots and went to check cattle, build fence, or pick up a hammer. He was employed as a school administrator who did way too much of everything and was good at it all. He was the business manager, the tax collector, the director of transportation, the director of maintenance, purchasing agent, and the construction supervisor (and probably several other things as well). He was extraordinary because he was a blue-collar man who found success and fulfillment in a white-collar work world.
He is preceded in death by his father, Joe Robinson, his mother, Florence Robinson, and his brother, Roy Robinson.
Survivors include his wife, Geneva, of the home; son, Charles Robinson and wife Monty of Canyon; daughters, Rebecca Cobb and husband Gale of Tulia; Gena Beth Robinson of New Deal; and Georgina Stroble and husband J.R. of Carlsbad, NM; eight grandchildren; one great grandchild; sister, Betty South of Leedey, Oklahoma; and numerous nieces and nephews and extended family members.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Texas Boys Ranch in Lubbock or High Plains Children’s Home in Amarillo.
Services are entrusted to Brown Funeral Directors of Borger
