Patricia Robinson
April 9. 2025

Patricia Ann Robinson, “Pat” age 90 of Delano passed away on Wednesday, April 9, 2025.  She was born May 18, 1934, to Leo and Bernadine (Canfield) Luffey in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Pat grew up in Delano on a working dairy farm with her four sisters and brother. This, when most work was done with a team of horses and back breaking work. Pat’s love for horses and animals never waned. As a single mother of six children, her passion to ensure her children were raised with the same work ethic she grew up on the farm was their daily diet.  With that same work ethic, she went onto a career in avionics, retiring from Honeywell in 1995.  She dedicated years of companionship to her beloved mother Bernadine after Leo’s passing.

Pat loved to garden and tend to her flowers and cook with a specialty for homemade pies that were always a family favorite at family celebrations.  She loved to spend time watching and feeding the birds, especially the cardinals as her favorite.

Pat was preceded in death by her parents Leo and Bernadine Luffey;

She is survived by her children Dauphinais Poe-Rathbub, Ted (Beth) Robinson, Mark (Sheila) Robinson, Leighton Robinson, Roger (Lynda) Robinson, Jon (Lori) Robinson; grandchildren; great grandchildren; brother Leon (Lisa) Luffey; sisters Lori Solstad, Bonnie Krone, Marilyn Daun and Robin Efraimson as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
