Molly Johnson Robinson, died peacefully on August 22, 2016, at a nursing facility near Denver, Colo.

She is survived by her daughters, Leslie Dunkin and Kassie Diehl; her brother, Reed Johnson; five grandsons and a granddaughter.

Molly was born in 1933 and early on moved regularly with her career-Army parents, Col. Albert Walker and Mary Reed Johnson.

At the beginning of World War II, Molly, her mother and brother moved to her mother's home, Richmond. She attended St. Catherine's School, Holton Arms, in Washington, and graduated from Northwestern University in 1956.

At Northwestern, Molly met Keith Robinson, an English oil geologist, and in June 1957, they were married. The couple and their increasing family lived in Sumatra, Singapore, Richmond and Blacksburg, before settling near Denver, where Keith had a long career with the U.S. Geological Survey. He died in 2000.

Molly was always good humored, sympathetic and resourceful; at home in a jungle oil camp and an asset to any party. She made and kept good friends, and was always available for her children and grandchildren.

No nose went unwiped, or football game unattended, 10 degree Fahrenheit weather not-withstanding. Her kindness and smile will be missed by all who knew her.
