Minister Minnie Lee Green Robinson, age 84, of 1701 Briar Lake Road, Winston-Salem, NC, relinquished labor and entered into eternal rest Sunday morning, March 11, 2012 at the Brian Center in Lexington, NC.

Minister Robinson was a native of Williamsburg County, SC, born December 18, 1927, to the late Mr. Western and Mrs. Lizzie McCrea Green. She later met and married the love of her life, Mr. Solomon Ezell Robinson of fifty-four years until he departed this life in 1999. To this union were born seven children; three of which also preceded her in death.

Minister Robinson spent most of her adult years in Bridgeport, Connecticut where she attended divinity school through the Mt. Calvary Holy Churches Convocation and received credentials of Church Mother, Missionary, Evangelist, and Ordained Minister. She also served as pastor of Mt. Calvary Holy Church in Bridgeport, CT for several years. Minister Robinson moved to Winston-Salem seventeen years ago and was Associate Minister of Oldtown Baptist Church in Galax, VA. She was a faithful member until her demise. Minister Robinson was a strong and loving mother of five generations. She impacted the lives of so many with the incredible wisdom that she so freely shared and with the godly lifestyle that she lived before her family and all that knew her. She will be well remembered for her uncanny recollection of dates and times of events and family history. She truly loved the Lord and one of her favorite sermons was, "Take
Your Case to a Higher Court."
