MARY LOU (DRENNAN) ROBINSON ~ March 16, 1943 - July 5, 2024
With sorrow we share the passing of devoted mother and beautiful sister, Mary Lou (Drennan) Robinson. Mary Lou, born March 16, 1943, passed away peacefully at her residence in Pt. Hope on July 5, 2025. Mary Lou leaves behind her loving son, William Mark Robinson. Her sister Patricia Endicott, brother Mike (Adele) Drennan, nieces Sandra Bennett, Debra Drennan, and nephew Bartley Drennan, several great nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her parents Gertrude (Foley) and Earl Drennan of Goderich. Mary Lou was raised on a small family farm in Ashfield Township, attended St. Joseph's Catholic Separate School in Kingsbridge, secondary school in Goderich, then followed in her mother's footsteps into a nursing career. She worked as an RNA at Goderich Hospital, then spent several years nursing at Linhaven Long Term Care in St. Catherine's. Mary Lou had a wonderful sense of humor, and was a born caregiver with a kind heart. She pampered her many cats over the years, including looking after feral cats and kittens. She loved sitting in her little garden in St Catherine's as much as possible, feeding the birds, chipmunks and squirrels equally, and then enjoying all their activity. She would spend evenings watching nature documentaries, usually into the wee hours of the morning. Mary Lou enjoyed a cup of coffee and Tim Hortons biscuits but more than that, she had a sweet tooth, just like her father, Earl. Candies, Hershey chocloate, and all types of cookies were always on hand. Above all else, Mary Lou was a devoted mother to her forever grateful son, Mark. Her unwavering commitment and constant support will never be forgotten. Cremation has taken place. Private Inurnment at St Peter’s Catholic Cemetery, ACW Township. Memorial donations may be made to the charity of your choice.
