TaRhonda Renee Robinson was born on August 28, 1973, and was the oldest of three siblings. She was reared by her mother, Eunice Robinson-Cooks. She graduated from South High School and earned her Associates Degree from Metropolitan Community College. She was employed at Ambassador Assisted Living for 15 years as a Respiratory Therapist. She had a strong work ethic and was a valued employee who was loved by all her patients.
TaRhonda was a sweet, quiet and soft-spoken person who was loved by everyone she met. Her children describe her as “amazing”, “loving”, “hilarious”, “superwoman” and as someone who always tried to see the bright side of things. Her mother said she was very smart and was a special child from the day of her birth until the day of her passing.
TaRhonda learned the truth about the bible and dedicated her life to Jehovah God on December 14, 2002. Her love for people and her God moved her to enter the full-time ministry service on October 1, 2012, in addition to working a full-time job and raising three beautiful girls in the truth. She conducted many bible studies whom she cared about deeply and was always very hospitable to all.
She leaves to mourn her passing, her mother Eunice Robinson-Cooks; 3 daughters KaShy Floyd, Brandee and Alejah Fisher; beloved grandson Jayden Floyd; brothers;
Damien Robinson and Donald Wilburn, sisters; Kizzie Tolbert, Donella Wilburn, Donesha Wilburn; grandmother Allene Robinson; and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, siblings, and other relatives.
TaRhonda was a faithful pioneer, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and friend who will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Because of her deep faith in Jehovah’s promises, she frequently told her family if she died in this system, she would see everyone in the new world when billions who have fallen asleep in death will be brought back to life on a paradise earth.
