LouEtta passed away peacefully at her home on October 18, 2025, at the age of 90. A devoted educator and beloved member of her community, LouEtta's life was a testament to her passion for teaching and her deep faith in Jesus.

LouEtta Ann Robinson, born on January 26, 1935, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to Don Henry and Anna Margaret (Simpkins) Craddock. LouEtta began her educational journey at Tulsa Jr. Academy and went on to attend Southwestern Jr. College in Texas, graduating in 1957. She furthered her studies at the University of Tulsa, obtaining her bachelor's degree in Elementary Education in 1965. On September 5, 1954, she married Charles Lewis Robinson in a ceremony in Tulsa. Together, they embarked on their teaching careers at Tuba City, Arizona, on the Navajo Indian Reservation, where they made a lasting impact in the lives of their students.

Throughout her career, LouEtta had the privilege of teaching grades one--four and later took a position with the California Conference of the Seventh Day Adventist. Her journey brought her to the Oklahoma Seventh Day Adventist Conference in 1985 where she started teaching at the Claremore SDA school. There she taught for seven years, during which time she had the joy of teaching her grandsons, Geremy, Chad and Clint Ferguson, and many of her friends' children. A defining moment in LouEtta's career came when she returned to her alma mater, Tulsa Jr Academy, now known as Tulsa Adventist Academy. There, she served as interim principal and taught 5th and 6th grades, concluding her lifelong dedication to education with her retirement in 1995.

Beyond her teaching, LouEtta was heavily involved in her community. After her retirement, she settled in Ketchum and became an active member of the Ketchum Seventh Day Adventist School as a school board chairman. Upon returning to Claremore, she played a crucial role in reinstating the Claremore Seventh Day Adventist School alongside Pastor James Shires, Dennis McGehee and Pastor Jack Fransico, serving as school board chairman for many years.

LouEtta's proudest accomplishments were not only her professional achievements but also the legacy of love, grace, and strength she imparted to those around her. She touched many lives through her unwavering dedication to teaching and her profound love for her students and colleagues. She will be remembered fondly for showing love and compassion, demonstrating her unshakable faith in Jesus throughout her life.

LouEtta is survived by her children, Cheri (Charesa) Lou Ferguson Robinson and Charles Anthony Robinson and wife Lynse; her grandchildren, Sara Moss, Geremy Ferguson, Chad Ferguson, Clint Ferguson, and Carly Robinson; and her great-grandchildren, Zayne Ferguson and Lily Ferguson. She is also survived by her son-in-law, Jim Moss, and many nieces, nephews, and other extended family members.

LouEtta was preceded in death by her parents, Don Henry and Anna Margaret (Simpkins) Craddock, her husband, Charles Lewis Robinson, her daughter, Dawnna Robinson Moss, her son-in-law, Gary Ferguson, her great-grandson, Conner Ferguson, and her siblings, James Donald, Christina Jewell, and Charles Anthony.

As her family and friends reflect on her remarkable life, they carry forward the joy and light she brought into the world. Though our hearts are heavy with sadness, we find comfort in knowing that she is now at peace with Jesus.
