Dianne Marie Robinson, age 63, of Gary, Indiana, passed away suddenly on Saturday, December 21, 2019. She is survived by her husband of 44 years, Harvey Robinson; their children: Susan (Gary) Harper, Beth (Aaron) Wolfe, Laura Smith, and Andrew (Nicole) Robinson; 12 grandchildren; her mother, Rose Marie Pearson; and her siblings: Carol (Tom) Wing, Judy (Keith) Harrison, Dan (Dawn) Pearson, and John (Sandy) Pearson. Dianne was preceded in death by her father, Robert "Bob" Pearson; her son, Jeff Robinson; and her grandson, Logan Smith. Dianne was born on December 6, 1956 in Momence, Illinois to Robert and Rosemarie Pearson. Dianne graduated from Hammond Baptist High School in 1974 and married Harvey Robinson on December 19, 1975. Harvey and Dianne had 44 years, 5 children, 3 spouses, and 12 grandchildren together. Dianne was a 2-time survivor of breast cancer. Dianne served in many areas of her church and school--First Baptist Church of Hammond, Hammond Baptist Schools and Hyles-Anderson College. You would typically find Dianne in a kitchen preparing or serving food. Dianne loved everyone she met, and she expressed that love by the care and devotion she gave into preparing food. It can easily be said she has made and served over a million meals. Of all the many titles Dianne had there were none more precious to her than wife, mom or grandma. If she could be summed up in one word it would be servant. For truly Matthew 23:11, “But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant” described Dianne the best. “Those we love don’t go away they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard but always near. Still loved, still missed and held so dear.” Viewing and visitation will be held on Friday, December 27, 2019 from 5:00 - 8:00 pm at Hyles-Anderson College, 8400 Burr Street, Crown Point, Indiana. The funeral will be on Saturday, December 28, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. in the Wendell Evans Auditorium at Hyles-Anderson College, with a one hour viewing prior to the service.
