Linda
Robinson
Jul 19, 1952 — Jan 24, 2024
Linda Ann Robinson went to her heavenly home on January 24. Linda was born July 19, 1952, at Edwards Air Force Base in Bourne, Massachusetts to the late John Frank Hart and Phyllis Ann Eaton Hart. After John was deployed to Guam that year Linda and Phyllis flew home to Weatherford, Oklahoma. After John was discharged from the Air Force, he came back to Weatherford to complete his college degree. The family moved to Madill and eventually to Ardmore where they would purchase Tol's Jewelers. Linda grew up in Ardmore and attended Franklin Elementary and Ardmore High School, and after graduation attended Southwestern State College and Murray State College. She met the love of her life, Kenneth Robinson, on the first day of classes in their junior year at Ardmore High in 1969. They would become special friends and after many attempts by Kenneth to take their relationship to the next level, Linda finally gave in, and they were married May 25, 1973. Their first son, Clint was born in Enid in 1976 and later after returning to Ardmore, Dustin was born in 1980. She was a strong-willed mother to her two sons and taught them about Jesus, taught them to read and write and drive and even served as catcher when they wanted to practice their pitching skills. She came to love basketball because that is what her boys loved. And was also their biggest fan. Linda loved people and was happiest when she was working in retail. Even though her priority was always being a mother and homemaker, she worked in various positions over the years and was sales associate at Zales in Enid, and managed Motherhood Maternity Shops in Fort Worth, was office assistant to the Fire Chief in Moore, Oklahoma, worked for 3 local dentists, sold clothing at Jimmy's Western Wear and most recently with the family business Tol's Jewelers. She always had a special bond with senior citizens and started a monthly dinner at First Christian Church called the Happy Timers. While Linda was still able to walk, she loved attending bible study classes at her church and loved all of her friends there. Linda loved the beach and even though the family vacations to Destin were only once a year, she had a new spark of childlike joy when we crossed the bridge to the island and a sadness when we would leave for home. She and Kenneth had recently moved to the Oklahoma City area to be close to the grandsons. Her final days with them was like magic as her eyes would light up when they came to visit. The strength, grace and faith that Linda kept during her long struggle was an inspiration to all. She will be remembered as a woman of strong faith, a loving wife and mother, a devoted friend and even a free spirit at times.
