Obituary
Linnea Robison passed away on June 21, 2019, after a valiant battle with cancer. Linnea was born in Jamestown, ND on May 2, 1945, to Martha and John Briese. She was the 7th of 8 children. Linnea married Don “Gimmer” Robison on October 26, 1962, and they had a family of three daughters, Tawni, Sherlene and LeRae. Linnea dearly loved and cherished her granddaughters, Jalen and Jenna Wagner. Linnea was employed at United Parcel Service for 32 years. After her retirement, Linnea was a lunch lady at Rose Park School where she met many new friends and enjoyed seeing the kids each day. Linnea loved spending time with her family and friends, being outdoors watering her flowers and playing games on her IPad. She also enjoyed road trips, always a willing passenger for any destination with her husband, daughters and granddaughters. In any health or any weather, she was always in attendance for sporting events. Linnea especially loved spending time with her best friend and sister, Holly, playing bingo at Big B and always talking on the phone with her. Linnea will be remembered by her husband, Don (Gimmer) Robison; daughters, Tawni Robison, Sherlene (Butch) O'Dea and LeRae (Rob) Wagner; granddaughters, Jalen and Jenna Wagner; sister, Holly (LeRoy) Axtell; and many cherished nieces and nephews; Brother-in-law Pete (Becky) Robison and sisters-in-law Sandy Muniz, Sue Robison, Brenda Robison and Wava Robison. A celebration of life will be held at Johnson's Barn 3245 S. 64th St. West on Saturday, June 29th at 4 pm. Gimmer is encouraging everyone to drive their vintage cars. We are thankful for the care provided by her team and their entire staff at the Billings Clinic; Dr. Heidi Duncan, Dr. Goulet, Dr. Kidd, Dr. Piedra, Dr. Byorth, BJ, the ICU staff, Diane Jones, and the PALS valet team.

I was fortunate to work with Linnea “Lenny” at Rose Park School over the past several years. Whenever she saw me, Lenny would always say hello, ask about my day or inquire about my family. She was kind, respectful and beautiful. Prayers to Lenny’s cherished family.

Linnea had a beautiful soul, a smile that could lite up a room and a contagious laugh. She was truly a genuine human being and will be missed by those of us that had the privilege of knowing her. Rest in peace dear Linnea. Deepest heartfelt sympathy for the family. The sun won't shine quite as bright with her not being here.

Linnea was our landlord and friend, when my husband and I were first together. She listen, laughed and offered sage advise, but only when asked. Linnea assisted me in locating my wedding ring in the grass, from the home we were renting from them, when I had thrown at my new husband. She commented reassuringly, that once she had done the same thing. That knowledge carried me a long way that afternoon, we found the ring. Years later I looked upon how Linnea and Gimmer had raised three intelligent, hard working, caring, and lovely daughters and knew that she had contributed the most important thing in life, the continuation of quality good souls on earth. Thank you Linnea!!!

Aunt Linnea was such a bright light in our life. Gentle, kind and accepting; she loved us no matter what. She laughed alot, and oh how wonderful it was! The earth will be a little less bright without her. Gimmer, Tawni, Sherlene, LeRae and family, we love you and send prayers your way. May the many wonderful memories you have ease the pain of her passing. Leslie, Kevin and Larry
