March 21, 1939 – April 12, 2026

Mary Louise Robinson (Kaufer), 87, passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 12, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family.

Born on March 21, 1939, in New Albany, Indiana, Mary was the daughter of the late Albert M. and Louise A. (Rudolph) Kaufer. A woman of deep faith and a devoted Catholic, she spent her life in service to others. Mary was a nurse by trade, beginning her career in hospitals before transitioning to nursing home care, where her compassion and skill touched many lives.

Beyond her professional life, Mary found great joy in the simple beauties of home. She was an avid gardener who took pride in canning her own produce and was known for the care she put into preparing meals for her family. Her home was a place of warmth, faith, and nourishment.

Mary is survived by her four children: Jim Robinson (Regina), Karen Robinson, Michael Robinson (Melhone), and Scott Robinson (Mary); five grandchildren: Colleen Robinson, Andrea Robinson, Doug Palmer, Rebecca Strasser, Anthony Robinson, and Ben Robinson; and her six siblings: Bette Schotter, Grace Dunn (Danny), Patty Messenger (Bill), Michael Kaufer (Lori), Margaret Schellenberger (Jerry), and Tommy Kaufer. She also leaves behind 3 great grandchildren and many beloved nieces and nephews.

A committal service will be held to honor the life of Mary on Monday, April 27th, 2026, at 9:00 AM. The service will take place at the shelter within the Bay Pines National Cemetery, located in Pinellas County, Florida.
