Beverly Robinson Obituary

Beverly Gail (Bostick) Robinson was called home to be with The Lord, Thursday April 3, 2025. We can rest assured she is singing and rejoicing with all the saints of God who have gone before her.
Beverly was born in Dimmitt, Texas May 20, 1956 to Dave and Mae (Peeler) Bostick. She was the youngest of their three daughters. Dave and Mae moved to Pagosa Springs, Colorado where Beverly spent most of her early years. In 1964 the family moved to Tribbey, Oklahoma and Beverly attended Macomb Public Schools. Beverly was always a proud graduate of the 1974 class of Macomb High School.
After high school graduation Beverly went to Central State University, known as University of Central Oklahoma today. She studied Journalism, Photography and writing while attending classes in Edmond. Beverly's love of journalism led her to a career at The Shawnee News-Star for 18 years where she was a reporter, writer, photographer and finished her career there as a managing Editor. One of Beverly's writing assignments was current events and places around the Shawnee area. An early favorite recommendation was "The Hamburger King" in downtown Shawnee. Besides the burgers being good fare, she found the fries, staff and local patrons to always make the Hamburger King an excellent place to dine.
After leaving the Shawnee News-Star, Beverly set about to produce and publish her own newspaper. It was with this venture that she met her late husband John Robinson Jr. For over ten years they put out a monthly and sometimes weekly newspaper focusing on events in the South Pottawatomie County area. Beverly believed that news didn't always need to be dreadful and the world would be a better place if local news reflected the good in people. With her husband they formed "The Canadian Sands." Beverly would gather information from local churches, schools, cities, towns, and everyday events such weddings, parties, awards won, parades, and such. A person would be hard-pressed to find discouraging news in any of the past Canadian Sands' publications.
A life long Christian and believer in God, Beverly was a member of the Wanette United Methodist church where she served as a leader, teacher, and faithful servant to God and those around her. Beverly and John were married at Wanette United Methodist Church in 2011 Beverly enjoyed Sunday School, worship, and most of all following God's commandment to Love One Another. Her presence, bright smiles, and joyful demeanor will be greatly missed.
Beverly was preceded in death by her husband John Robinson Jr. and parents Dave and Mae Bostick.
She is survived by her step-sons Rob, Randy, and Tony Robinson, a step-daughter Rebecca Lloyd, a sister Janet Taylor of Oklahoma City, OK, a sister Rosalea Griffith of Liberal, KS, numerous nieces and nephews, and her favorite little dog Cricket.
A memorial celebration of Life will be held on Saturday April 12th, 2025 at 11:00 AM at the Wanette United Methodist Church, 220 East First Street, Wanette, OK 74878 with Reverend Ralph S. Wangler, officiating.
