Barbara Ann Robinson

Oviedo, FL – Barbara Ann Robinson, age 79, went to be with the Lord on July 1, 2021 at the Oviedo Medical Center. She had been in failing health for more than a year. She is survived by her loving husband of 32 years, George J. Robinson, her sisters Marilyn Bauman of Louisville, KY, Anne Marie Connolly of Brookhaven, PA; her beloved sons Richard C. Ianieri of Oxford, PA, Christopher J. Ianieri, of Avondale, PA.; daughters Stefanie M. McQuery of Seattle, WA, and Tara V. Hill of Orlando, FL; stepsons Edward M. Robinson of Clark’s Summit, PA, Sean P. Robinson of Carlisle, PA; stepdaughter Maureen Hudas of Orlando, FL, and the grandchildren that she adored, Richard, Mark, Nicola, Victoria, Shaun, Aaron, Bailey, Jason, Sawyer, Ruby, Maura, Cait, Jennifer, Patrick, Riley, Regan, Declan and her great grandchildren, Caesar, Aoi, and Nathanial. She was preceded in death by her loving parents, Charles and Margaret Nagy and her angelic granddaughter Kelly Coy. Barbara was born to Charles Paul and Margaret Mary Nagy (late of Brookhaven, PA.) in Philadelphia, PA on March 14, 1942. She graduated from the Academy of Notre Dame high school in Glen Riddle, PA in 1960, where she formed life-long close and dear friendships with some of her fellow classmates that have lasted up to her recent passing. Barbara made a career as a Customs Broker in the Import/Export business, and she successfully managed the Morris-Friedman Company airport office in Philadelphia for the Liberati family for more than 25 years before moving to Florida to marry her husband George in February 1989. Barbara began working for the City of Oviedo, where she quickly learned the charm and beauty of her new town. As the kids grew up and moved away, Barbara began filling the home with many pets. Starting off with one cat, Witchy, led to her rescuing two dogs, Fred & Ginger, followed by adopting Ray, Blarney and Mingo. These six pets lived the good life! They were loved, spoiled, and enjoyed many sunny days in the pool followed by kisses and cuddles when going to bed. Barbara loved the simple joys of life, like listening to the birds outside her window as she drank her cup of tea. She enjoyed eating out, and celebrated many occasions at her favorite restaurants and pubs. It became tradition to have breakfast at the Town House when company came to town and the Oviedo Ale House or Froggers when her Philadelphia Eagles were not playing on her local stations. Barbara was an avid reader and read well over 100 books a year on average. She had a wide and varied taste for her reading, but her passion was for true crime thrillers. She prided herself on being an expert on the British Royal Family and kept herself up to date on the family’s current affairs and controversies while setting traditions such as waking up in the early morning hours for any royal wedding. Barbara enjoyed traveling where her adventures took her to Niagara Falls, Atlantic City, Las Vegas, Seattle, Biloxi, Irving, Louisville, to name a few along with many drives along the I-95 corridor where she enjoyed the beauty of the fall scenery. In her later years, Barbara discovered a passion for cruises! She loved going on cruises and found the tropical waters and laid-back atmosphere of the East and West Caribbean Islands both relaxing and rejuvenating. She lived only 45 minutes from the Cape Canaveral cruise terminal, so her bags were always packed to go at a moment’s notice! Whether she was raising children, caring for others, working, traveling, or day to day life, Barbara cherished every moment and memory made with those she loved. She taught us all many valuable lessons, not just by her actions & words but also by her faith and her belief in the power of prayer. Even the hours leading up to the LORD calling her home, Barbara shared with her family what mattered most: Being Kind, Staying Connected, and Walking With The Lord. As people journey through life, they leave a legacy behind. A legacy of kindness and love, courage and compassion, humor and inspiration, joy and most importantly faith. This was Barbara. Although she is no longer with us, Barbara’s legacy and love will never be forgotten.
