Obituary

Patricia N. Robinson of St. Albans, WV, went home to be with the Lord suddenly on Sunday, December 24, 2023, at the age of 73, after suffering a massive and devastating heart attack.

“Patti” was born in Charleston, WV, on November 2, 1950, and grew up in Sissonville, WV, where she attended Sissonville High School.

Patti was a homemaker and was dedicated to her children and family. Throughout her life, she was known for her kindness and gentle nature. She adored her family and friends and loved owls and sunflowers. Her sweet voice and gently disposition will be truly missed by many.

She was predeceased by her mother, Anna Marie Robinson-Milbach of Silverton, WV; and her great-grand-daughter, Aurora Ramella of St. Albans, WV.

She will be deeply missed by her surviving children, daughter, Melissa D. Tackett of Dunbar; daughter, Angela R. Lude of South Charleston; daughter, Kelly J. Pennington of St. Albans; and son Patrick R. Drake and wife, Leah of Clendenin; her grandchildren, Kasey D. Tackett; Kadin E. Steadman, Arizona “Sky” F. Steadman; Dalton S. Lude; Gavin M. Lude; Isabelle N. Jones; Kelsey M. Coles; Taylor O. Womack, and Barbie J. Ramella; her seven great-grandchildren; and her brothers, Gary and Robert Milbach.

Although she battled severe depression for many years, Patti had a zest for life and wanted to live each day to the fullest. Her only wish to be well so that she could enjoy the things that she loved. She had an infectious smile that could light up a room and had the soul of an angel.

The family expresses their gratitude for the love and support that everyone has shown during this difficult time. Patti’s legacy lives on through the memories she created and the lives that she touched.

Per Patti’s prior wishes, there will be no funeral service.
