Good bye to a dear friend

Edith Billings Robinson grew up on the West Side of Norwich and attended our church as a young girl. She was baptized in 1928. She was a bright and talented girl and graduated near the top of her class at the Norwich Free Academy.

She married Ellsworth Robinson and had two beautiful daughters, Courtney and Sharon. She was devoted Christian and she was at the church working on various projects and attending Bible Studies whenever she had free time.

She was a gracious lady and she loved everyone. She was a woman of prayer and a tower of faith. We will miss her for she inspired so many of the young people at church and in the community with her love of the Lord and her care for her neighbors.

There will be a graveside service for Edith at the Yantic Cemetery on Saturday, January 24 at 1:00 p.m. Donations in her memory can be made to the First Baptist Church.
