PEMBROKE – Early in the morning of July 11, 2011, Cinda Lynn Robinson, 60, passed on to her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, at her home with her loving husband, Jeff Robinson at her side. Cinda was born Feb. 5, 1951, in Eastport.
As she grew, she developed a very strong love for the outdoors and everything in it. She loved animals, flowers and everything green. Cinda attended Dennysville grade school and then went on to graduate from Shead Memorial High School, Class of 1969. She stayed close with her high school classmates by attending monthly luncheons with them, where they shared and laughed together; she was a significant part of the group and will be sadly missed. Cinda also loved all the friends she made from the beginning of life to the very end. She loved people and always appreciated how welcoming and caring they could be. Cinda enjoyed going to the lake and cooking for her family; she was always willing to host and prepare for gatherings, creating memories together with the ones she loved. Cinda was always on the move caring for her home and family. She was a member of Tres Dias of Maine; Pembroke United Methodist Church, where she also served as treasurer; was a Girl Scout leader and was one of the original start up members of Border Riders Club, Pembroke.
Cinda was predeceased by her father, Fletcher H. Downes. She is survived by her loving husband of more than 41 years, Jeffrey E. Robinson; her mother, Melva B. Downes of Baileyville; children, Melissa Mahar and her husband, Thomas, and Jeff A. Robinson and his wife, Jennifer; four grandchildren, Miranda Mahar, Ryley, Ethan and Megan Robinson, all of Pembroke; a sister, Darlene Lincoln of Baileyville; a brother, Dennis Downes and his wife, Abby, of Edmunds; many nieces, nephews, cousins and close friends.
