Obituary for Brenda Augrette Robinson
Brenda A. Robinson
Brenda Augrette Robinson, MBA, of Fort Washington, MD passed away on Friday, September 9, 2022, at the age of 59. Brenda was born on August 21, 1963 in Richmond, VA to the late Rev. Bobby Lee and Alice Mae Moore Robinson. Raised in Indian Head, MD, she attended Lackey High School, and graduated from St. Mary’s College of Maryland in 1985. She received Masters Degrees from the College of William and Mary and the Wharton Business School of the University of Pennsylvania. After teaching for several years at Temple University, she began her career as an insurance executive and, for the next three decades, specialized in risk management. Brenda was a woman of unbounded energy and enthusiasm – when not throwing herself into her work as a “numbers girl”, she was planning family reunions, mapping family genealogical trees, praising her Lord, or spearheading a successful campaign to “bring home the Mothership” to the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Moreover, family meant everything to her.
She is survived by her three loving sisters, Sherrie Robinson Bailey (Drew), Rhonda Robinson and Alice Lorraine Robinson; her devoted partner, Keith Jackson; 4 nephews who adored her; and almost countless cousins, aunts and uncles.
There will be a visitation for family and friends Friday afternoon, September 16, 2022 from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m., at the J.B. Jenkins Funeral Home, 7474 Landover Road, Landover, MD. On Saturday morning, September 17, at Rehoboth Baptist Church, 621 Alabama Avenue, SE, Washington, DC, there will be a visitation at 10 a.m., followed by a funeral service at 11:00 a.m. Interment will follow immediately at National Harmony Memorial Park, 7101 Sheriff Road, Landover, MD.
