Evelyn Sue Robinson

Our precious loved one left for her heavenly home on June 16th, 2025. She was the beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and sister-in-law of her family. She was married to Dr Robert “Ed” Robinson of Birmingham, Alabama, and St. Petersburg, Florida for 59 years. She was predeceased by her husband Ed in 2009.

As Ed attended Auburn, she worked at the Auburn University Agricultural Building and held numerous secretarial positions there and later, at Southern Living Magazine in Birmingham, Alabama. Sue was a steadfast employee of Ed’s Veterinary practices throughout their marriage as a receptionist and a greeter of the clientele of their practices they owned. The locations where they lived were Birmingham, Mobile, and Dothan, Alabama, and St. Petersburg, Florida, residing there over thirty years.

She was born in 1930, in Birmingham, Alabama, to Robert L. Jones and Jessie M. Masters of Birmingham, Alabama. She was a lovely, vivacious Southern lady. She made friends easily with her outgoing and positive personality. Southern cuisines were her favorite, and she enjoyed critiquing those dishes. She studied music in school and enjoyed being in the choir. She had a range of music styles that she appreciated.

After the loss of Ed, she resided in Utah and Colorado. As health challenges later caused limited mobility, assisted care was required. She found her supportive, loving lifestyle in Arvada, Colorado surrounded by many friends.

Sue is survived by her daughter Suzanne and son-in-law Chris Gurley, and Grandson Zachary Gurley of Berthoud, Colorado, her brother, Garland “Sonny” Jones and sister-in-law Judy Jones of Birmingham, Alabama, and sister-in-law Martha Robinson of Trussville, Alabama.

There is also an extensive and beloved host of cousins, nieces and nephews in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and Texas.

A memorial service and interment will be held Friday, September 12, at 2:30 pm at Jefferson Memorial in Trussville, Alabama, in the Last Supper Mausoleum with the Reverend Alex Oberneder officiating.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Rheumatology Research Foundation or The American Cancer Society.
