February 14, 1946 – May 22, 2018
Evelyn Frances Robinson, 72, Indianapolis, passed away on Tuesday, May 22, 2018 at Community Hospital North in Indianapolis. She was born on February 14, 1946 to Edrie T. and Fannie Urie Blake in Dallas, Texas.
Evelyn was a lifelong Christian and member of Geist Christian Church. She was a real estate broker for 15 years before opening her own business, Castleton Trophy and Gifts in 1986. She understood the meaning of true love and friendship and cherished her family and many friends. She never met anyone she couldn’t have a conversation with and was always ready with a genuine smile and a kind word for everyone. She loved holidays and special occasions and never missed a chance to send a note and card for a birthday or anniversary to those she loved.
In addition to being an avid bicyclist, she was a beautiful ballroom dancer and belonged to various dance clubs in the area. She was also very creative and loved painting, planting flowers, gardening and cooking. Her favorite holiday was Christmas when she always enjoyed decorating the house and having her family over for a wonderful dinner.
She is survived by her husband, Joe Bob Robinson, son, Jeffrey Wray (Laura) Groom, two grandchildren, Matthew Wray Groom and Abigail Elizabeth Groom.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister, Jane.
