Ellen Anne Robinson, 85, of Richey died Saturday, Feb. 14, 2026, at Billings Clinic Hospital in Billings.
She was born July 15, 1940, as a miracle baby to Fred and Frances Phillips of Livingston. In her adolescence years, she participated in FHA, cheerleading, chorus, FTA and junior and senior plays.
She married Philip Robinson Jr. on Nov. 26, 1958. A few short years later, the two of them made their home in Richey. Their home was a sanctuary of warmth rooted in a small community of good people, great compassion and endless support.
She was known affectionately as the “Sports Grandma” to her children, grandchildren and their teammates. She never missed an event.
Her hands were rarely still — whether she was crafting, sewing or crocheting personalized treasures for every special occasion. She had a unique talent for transforming simple materials into cherished keepsakes.
She was also known for being a “tough cookie” with a gentle soul. She dedicated her life to serving God and blessing others. Her garden was an extension of her worship.
She is survived by her children Roberta Robinson of Warren, Mich.; Rob Robinson of Joliet, Andy Robinson of Las Vegas, Nev, Lenny Robinson of Livingston, Tim Robinson of Baker and Sue Veroye of Glendive; and many great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her husband and her four siblings.
Funeral services were held Friday, Feb. 20, at the Richey Senior Center. Rite of Committal followed at the Richey Cemetery.
