Midge loved flowers and gardening. An avid reader, she enjoyed knitting, sewing and aerobics. Midge loved the water and beaches, and liked to sail and visit with her sister in Florida. Most of all, Midge loved her grandchildren and spending time with them.

In addition to her husband, Midge is survived by her daughters, Carol Robinson, Caryn (Gary Leighton) Anderson and Connie (Jeff) Robinson-Rapp; a sister, Jean Perry; eight grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her son, James "Jay" Robinson III; daughter, Cheryl Springstead; son-in-law, Michael Springstead; and grandson, Erich Springstead.
