Delores's obituary
President Valerie Smith shared the following message with the campus community on June 5, 2025:
Dear Friends,
With deep sadness, I write to share the news that Delores Robinson, administrative assistant in the Lang Center for Civic & Social Responsibility, died on Sunday, June 1. She was 62.
From the Lang Center’s very beginning more than 20 years ago, Delores devoted herself to welcoming and supporting its students, faculty, staff, and community partners. Known as “Dimples” to her family and friends, she is remembered for her integrity, creative problem solving, and, through her remarkable ability to listen deeply, for transforming ordinary moments into meaningful connections.
Delores is survived by Carl Robinson, her high school sweetheart and husband of more than 25 years; daughter Eboni Wesley; granddaughters Sanai, Taryn, and Alaia; and extended family, including her nephew, Oliver Feaster, a staff member at Broad Table Tavern. A viewing at 10 a.m., followed by an 11 a.m. service, is planned for Monday, June 16, at First African Baptist Church, 901 Clifton Ave., in Sharon Hill, Pa.
I invite you to read more below about Delores and her many contributions to our community.
Sincerely,
Val Smith
President
