Nancy Lee Robinson

Nancy Robinson passed away at Grafton County Nursing Home on Saturday, February 11, at the age of 80. The nurses who cared for Nancy observed her befriend those who needed companionship, was always there to listen and offer a smile, kind words, and a helpful hand. They said, "we all love Nancy." Nancy was born on May 13, 1942 in Rumney, NH to Mildred (Camp) and Lester Coffin; Nancy's father fondly called her Fancy Nancy. She met Allen Robinson who was from North Carolina mining and while Nancy was waitressing in Rumney; they married and had three sons, Allen Jr., Gary, and Donnie. They resided in North Carolina, and later returned to New Hampshire where she was busy working and raising three sons on her own. She was strong, independent, and in spite of many challenges, she always had a sense of humor, was kind, and saw the good in people. Nancy captivated everyone around her with her positivity, compassion, and honesty. She was always willing to do whatever she could for those who were going through difficult times. Nancy enjoyed fishing, gardening, cooking, puzzles, crafting, and attending car races. Family meant everything to Nancy, and she valued quality time with her children and grandchildren above all else. She spent hours cooking and baking delicious meals and pies at Thanksgiving, and at Christmas she spent money she had saved all year and splurged on gifts so her family could have a Merry Christmas. Nancy was predeceased by her son Donnie Robinson; sisters Jeanette Neil, Myrtle Benton, and Marie Merrill; and brother Robert Coffin. She is survived by her son Allen Robinson and wife Rosemarie Robinson and Nancy's grand-daughter Bree Robinson of Plainfield, NH; son Gary Robinson and wife Sandee Robinson and Nancy's grand-daughter Shelby Robinson of Thetford, VT; grandchildren Todd, Kristie, Brody, Colby, Kendra, Audrey and their children; sister Mary Robertson; brothers Charlie Coffin, Dickie Coffin, and John Coffin; and many nieces and nephews. Nancy always put others ahead of herself, and she touched many people's lives. We are heartbroken and miss her dearly. There will be a graveside service on May 12, 2023 at 2 pm at Riverside Cemetery in Plymouth. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer's Association in Nancy's name.
