Ella Mabel Robinson

Obituary: Former Wellsville NY resident Ella Mabel Robinson, 82, died Feb 18th, 2015 at the home of her daughter Kathleen Deming, Concord NC Ms. Robinson was born May 25, 1932 in Wellsville NY, to Henry and Mary Crosby Gilbert. She worked for many years at SUNY Alfred Tech. Ella was well known for her spotless well kept home and yard, along with her cooking, baking, sewing, and crocheting skills. Most of all she was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Ella was a strong willed hard working woman. It was nothing to see her hanging out the upstairs window cleaning them, washing curtains, ironing, or scrubbing floors. Through the years, she had beautiful vegetable and flower gardens. Along with all that and many other things, she always had a home cooked meal on the table. She always used a particular laundry soap and fabric softener and no matter how hard her children and grandchildren tried they could never get their linens to smell like mom's/grandma's. She is survived by her life partner of almost 40 years Everett Flanders and his children. Sue (Clayton) Stutzman, Linda (Julie) Bowes, Kathleen Dehainaut, and Patty (Jim) Woodruff, their children and grandchildren. She is also survived by her children Kathleen (Dan) Deming, Concord NC, Earl (Tei) Buchholz Jr, William (Kathy) Buchholz, both of Virginia Beach, VA and David (Kathy) Buchholz, Grand Island NY. Grandchildren Lisa (Jay)Buck, Michael (Reece) Sherwood, Jeremy Buchholz, David (Melissa) Buchholz Jr., Scott (Jessica) Buchholz, Mathew Buchholz, Josh Buchholz, Willie Sherwood and Jade (Kyle) Deming, along with several Great Grandchildren. Special Friends Dan and Peg Viglietta, Stephanie and Austin Crawford.
