Saundra Moselle Robinson
Saundra Moselle Robinson, 76, of Marietta passed away Friday February 5, 2016, at Brookdale of Marietta. She was born Saundra Cozzens on March 31, 1939, in Beverly, Ohio, the daughter of the late Opal and Graydon Kearns.
Saundra spent several of her early years in Calhoun County, WV, and always had a special fondness of that area. Her later childhood and teenage years were spent in Waterford, Ohio. She was a proud graduate of Waterford High School, Class of 1956. She was active in her children’s activities as band booster volunteer and chaperone, was a member of Pleasant Hill United Methodist Church where she was a member of the United Methodist Women and baked countless pies for auction sales and church events.
After Ray’s retirement in 1994, Saundra passed out samples in local stores…a perfect job for her as she was blessed with the gift of gab and never knew a stranger. Saundra loved children and was a frequent hostess of many of her nieces and nephews who lovingly nicknamed her “Aunt Mosie” or “Mosers.” She was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by all.
Saundra married Ray Robinson on July 26, 1959. They shared 52 years of happiness until his passing in 2011.
Survived by son, Gregory Ray Robinson of Whipple, Ohio, daughter Rebecca (Steve) Cunningham of Tiki Island, Texas. Also survived by the “Lights of her life” grandson Nathan Cunningham and granddaughter Jordan Cunningham. Also survived by her sisters Bonnie VanDyke and Kaye Whiting and brother Tom Kearns.
Preceded by husband Ray, parents, brothers David Kearns and Daniel Kearns and sister Ellen Bennett.
