Cynthia May Robinson
May 23, 1953 – May 31, 2016
FOLEY — Cynthia May Robinson, 63, of Foley, died on Tuesday morning, May 31, at her home after a long period of declining health.
She was a native of Foley and a daughter of John Byron and Martha Louene (Haynes) Robinson. Her mother died on Jan. 18, 2011, and her father died four months ago on Jan. 31.
In 1971, Cindy graduated from Foley High School, where she played clarinet in the band and was active in the American Field Service Club.
She graduated from Mastin School of Nursing in Mobile.
Until retiring, Cindy was a registered nurse and had worked for hospitals in Alabama and Louisiana. In Baldwin County, she was employed at South Baldwin Regional Hospital in Foley and Thomas Hospital in Fairhope.
Cindy was known as a highly competent, caring nurse, and she was saddened that her career was cut short because of health issues.

The family includes a brother, Steven Robinson (Dianne) of Vinings, Georgia; sisters, Linda Robinson Garner (Rob) of Snellville, Georgia and Mary Robinson McNair (Greg) of Foley; nieces, Joy Roark (Dan) of Woodstock, Georgia and Andrea Moore (Brett) of San Antonio, Texas; nephews, Adam Garner (Andrea) of Lilburn, Georgia, Josh Robinson (Susan) of Vinings, Georgia and Philip Garner (Cynthia) of Suwanee, Georgia; grandnieces, Kyla and Meira Robinson and Abigail Garner; and grandnephews, Price Roark, Amos Robinson, Avery, Gavin and Isaac Moore, and Aron Garner.
