She ultimately retired in 2006 after 22 years with Hempstead Public Schools. She proudly served many years and represented as a local officer for her chapter of the New York State United Teachers union.
Upon relocating to Tallahassee, FL, she started an in-home day care where each child and their family also became family. This is also where she became a member of Truth Gatherers Community Church. In 2014, she married Carl Robinzine and relocated to Marks and then Southaven, MS. She quickly got involved with the Democratic Party and worked the polls faithfully until 2022. She also attended her weekly Wii bowling and occasional bingo. She will be remembered by the beautiful hand crocheted blankets and crafts she made for everyone she loved. She enjoyed traveling, gardening, and spending time with family and friends and especially her grandchildren.
She was preceded to glory by both parents Lillian and Allister Johnson. She leaves to cherish her precious memories her husband, Carl Robinzine, her daughter, Dr. Melissa L.
