"The Davis Enterprise," Monday, April 29, 2002
Betty J. Robinson

Betty Jane Robinson died peacefully on April 20, 2002, in Woodland after a
struggle with cancer. Born Nov. 24, 1924, in San Francisco, she was 77 years old.

A woman of strong convictions and great intellect, she will be missed by friends
and family whom she loved.

She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from UC Berkeley, studying chemistry and Russian.
She went on to graduate school at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, where
she developed lifelong friendships.

After graduation, she settled in Davis, working in the pomology department at UC
Davis. During that time, she took a sabbatical and lived and worked in Holland.

After retiring, she attended the UC Berkeley Library School, earning a master's
degree in librarianship.

When she was younger, she was active in the Sierra Club, organizing and
participating in hikes and backpacking trips. Later, she became involved in the
Unitarian Church, where she sang in the choir and participated on the board. She
catalogued the church library's books and put the records on computer disks.

She was also passionate about fighting injustices and supported several
organizations that worked with those causes.

She is survived by her brother, Leonard Robinson of Los Altos Hills, and her
sister, Margaret Barrett of Reno, as well as seven nieces and nephews.

Friends are invited to a memorial service Saturday, May 4, at 11 a.m. at the
Unitarian Church of Davis, 27074 Patwin Road in rural West Davis.

Donations in her memory may be directed to the Unitarian Church.
