1946-2026
Donna Jean Robson (nee King) passed away peacefully in her sleep on February 6, 2026. Born November 21, 1946, in Hickory, North Carolina, she joined the Marine Corps after high school, where she met and later married the love of her life, James “Jim” Robson. After the Marines, they moved from Camp Lejeune, North Caroline to Jim’s hometown of Lewistown, Ohio, in 1967.
Donna was a talented seamstress and baker. Well known for her beautiful cakes and other baked goods, she earned the nickname, “Cookie Lady” because of her amazing sugar cookies. For generations of area families, no holiday or special occasion was complete without those wonderful cookies.
