WORCESTER – Nina (Detwiler) Robison, 100, died peacefully at her home on February 18, 2023, at the Briarwood Retirement Community, with her beloved husband by her side.
Born in Follett, Texas, and raised in Pratt, Kansas, Nina was the daughter of Bernard and Alta Matilda (Putman) Detwiler. After earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Theater Arts at Ottawa University, Nina married Rev. Roscoe Robison, with whom she shared a marriage of over 78 years, and a partnership in Ministry as well.
Nina will be lovingly missed and remembered by her beloved husband Rev. Roscoe Robison of Worcester; her son, Curtis Robison and his wife, Delphine of Windsor, CT; her daughter, Christyn Billinsky of Columbia, SC; her grandchildren, Kathryn, Peter, John, Christopher, Nolwenn and Kaelig; and her great-grandchildren, Trevor, Henry and Eleanor; and her brother, Ralph Detwiler of Dallas, Texas.
Nina and Roscoe (himself 99 years old and in declining health), had decided that they wanted a joint memorial service at some future date after both have passed that would fully celebrate and tell the story of their long life together.
