Bonham, Texas -- Shelia Ann (Stephens) Robinson, of Bonham, TX and formerly of Paris, TX, peacefully passed away in her home on September 4, 2025 at the age of 75.
Shelia was born in Memphis, TX on June 13, 1950 to Robert Hubert and Patsy Ann (Eudy) Stephens. The second of six children, Shelia was her mother’s most stubborn child, a fact she both delighted in and embodied every day of her life.
Shelia married Jim Robinson in Whitewright, TX on November 14, 1967. Over the years, she worked many jobs, including at Bonham Manufacturing, but her last, and perhaps her favorite job, was as a live-in caretaker.
Strong willed, hardworking, and determined, Shelia lived and died on her own terms. She wore her impatience and stubbornness like badges of honor. She would not be told what to do, but was willing to consider suggestions or requests. Outgoing, quick witted, and possessing a sharp sense of humor, Shelia made friends everywhere she went. Once she counted you as a friend, there was no going back. The only thing Shelia loved more than pie was her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Welcoming Shelia to her heavenly home were husband Jim Robinson, parents Robert and Patsy Stephens, brother Wayne Stephens, sisters Cindy Langsdorf and Frankie Stephens.
Celebrating her life and continuing her legacy are son and daughter-in-law George and Megan Robinson of Bonham, TX; son and daughter-in-law Jeff and Tonya Phillips of Dallas, TX; grandchildren Kristopher (Laura) Robinson, Kayla (Shawn) Robinson, and Ethan Robinson; great-grandchildren Landon, Skylar, Aeralee, Bridgette, Zayne, Legaci, Zayla, Noah, Josh, and Maylee; granddog Trudy; sister Karen (Ron) Hagan; brother David (Melissa) Stephens; sister-in-law Sydney Robinson; aunt Bonnie Tarturo; uncle Preston (Mildred) Eudy; many cousins, nieces, and nephews; as well as her dear friends at Pecan Place.
A celebration of life will be held at Cooper-Sorrells in Bonham, TX on Tuesday, September 9, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. Visitation will precede the service at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, gifts to help with final expenses can be made in Shelia’s memory at Community National Bank and Trust.
