Odette C. Robinson died peacefully, surrounded by family and friends on Oct. 25, 2012 at the Bridgton Hospital following a brief illness. She was born Dec. 14, 1936. in Poitiers, France. She was the daughter to her late parents Adolfe and Rachel Bodin, and was also predeceased by a son Rick Robinson, and a sister Jany Maury.

She met and married Ronald W. Robinson in France and moved to the United States in 1964. She went back to college in 1978, earning her Registered Nurse degree in 1982. In retirement she enjoyed volunteer work, reading, cooking and gardening. Playing with her special dog Jessie and spending time with her friends from the Lake Region Vineyard Church were also among her favorite pastimes.

She is survived by Ronald Robinson; a son Patrick Robinson, daughters Marie Kushner and her husband Robert, Sonya Allen and her husband Mark; sister-in-law Rowena Marcia and her husband David; as well as grandsons Christopher Rand and Daniel Gawlik; sisters Annick Bodin and Pierrette Bonnin. Several nieces and nephews will miss her greatly.

A graveside service and celebration of her life will be held in the springtime.

Her family is very grateful to the staff of the Bridgton Hospital for the outstanding care which they provided and also to the Lake Region Vineyard Church for all of their kindness and support.
