Patricia Robinson, 86, of Meredith, NH and The Villages, FL (formerly of Shrewsbury, MA), passed away peacefully on July 9, 2026, surrounded by loved ones. The eldest of two children, she was born on September 1, 1939, in Niles, Ohio, to Pat and Helen Bellitto.
Pat is survived by her husband of nearly 64 years, Richard Robinson, children: Kimberly Sullivan (Chris), Tonya Garofoli (Ed), and Ryan Robinson (Allison); grandchildren: Amanda, John, Alicia, Matthew, and Alexis; greatgrandchildren: Sophie, Ella, and Caden and brother Fred Bellitto of Niles, Ohio.
Pat graduated from Niles McKinley High School. After marrying, she lived in Columbus and Akron, Ohio before moving to Massachusetts. For 20 years, “Mrs. Robinson” spent her afternoons as a preschool teacher aide at Shrewsbury Montessori School.
Her proudest accomplishment was her family. She was always there with love and support. She loved that her
“blue house” in Shrewsbury, and “Lake House” on Winnipesaukee were the central hubs for her children/grandchildren, and their friends. She enjoyed cooking especially when it was someone’s favorite dish (meatballs).
Pat never met a stranger but rather a new best friend. She will forever be missed by all of those who knew her, as each one was left with happy memories.
A celebration of life will be held in Massachusetts on a date to be announced later.
In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to The American Cancer Society in Pat’s name.
