Mardell Eileen (Schellpeper) Robinson, 89, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, on Easter Sunday, April 17, 2022, at Mission At Castle Rock in Green River, Wyoming.
She was born November 23, 1932, in Hoskins, Nebraska to Arthur W. Schellpeper and Helen B. (Marotz) Schellpeper. She attended grade school in Stanton, Nebraska, and was a 1950 graduate of Stanton High School. She attended Midland College & Wayne State Teachers College graduating in 1952. She later taught third grade in Hooper, NE.
She married her high school sweetheart Daryl Eugene Robinson on December 27, 1953, in Stanton, Nebraska. They were married 60 years and were blessed with three children.
In later years, she also worked for Tasty Toppings, Columbus Motors, and for 28 years found great joy as an Avon Representative. She won numerous awards and cherished the countless relationships she built through the years.
She was a devoted member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Columbus.
She loved to spend time with her family, enjoyed decorating for every occasion, tending to her yard, attending local dances and watching Husker football. She was known for her spunk, great eye for fashion, and was the epitome of “buy the shoes (in every color) and eat the cake!”

Robinson; grandchildren Chadwyn (Kelly) Frink, Jenissa (Allen) Meredith, Kaylie (Luis) Gomez, Adrianne (Michael) Lescanic, Noelle (Tom) Crawford, Erica (Tom) Stranik; great-grandchildren, Kyler Bartlett, Presley Frink, Dylan Frink, Kanon Bartlett, Michael Todd Lescanic, Austin Crawford, Alyssa Crawford, Gavin Stranik, Keira Crawford, and Cooper Stranik.
