I extend my sincere condolences to the family of Dorothy Louise Bushong Robbins. ------------------------ The Pleasanton Express Pleasanton, Texas Friday, 7 June 2013 DOROTHY BUSHONG ROBBINS Dorothy Louise “Dot” Bushong Robbins left this life to be with Jesus on 5 June 2013. Dot was born 29 December 1924 in Papalote to Lucy Lenore West and Virgil Cisero Bushong. She attended Papalote Elementary School and graduated from Incarnate Word in Corpus Christi. Dot met her husband to be, Burney C. Robbins, in Corpus Christi. Burney followed her when her family moved to Austin and whisked her away 7 January 1942 for an impromptu wedding in Austin. The newlyweds put their life on hold when Burney was drafted for World War II and served the Air Force. Dot was termed a ‘favorite Aunt’ by so many nieces and nephews she doted on and created special memories with. After 13 years of marriage, Dot’s prayers were answered and she was blessed with a boy, Kim Lewis Robbins in 1955, the true love of her life. Dot devoted her life to her family as her husband pursued a career with Halliburton. They settled their home in Pleasanton and Dot took up painting, a true passion that soothed her soul. She loved painting, especially with oils and watercolors, and lovingly gifted numerous pieces to her family members. After her husband retired from Halliburton, they frequently traveled with other couples, often relatives, as well as good friends. Hawaii, New England and Muldoon, were favorite destinations. Dorothy loved their annual tradition of entertaining friends and family in Port Aransas. She is preceded in death by her parents, her husband of 54 years, her son and two brothers, Bobby and Howard Bushong. She is survived by her sister, Yvonne Simpson of Ft. Worth, her brother, Glendon Bushong of Corpus Christi and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Serving as pallbearers are Rob Robinson, Corey Cole, Mike Robbins, Ron Roggenbuck, Frank Beck, Mike Featherling, Mitch Robbins and Riley Robbins. Visitation was held at Hurley Funeral Home in Pleasanton, Sunday, 9 June 2013 from 2 - 9 p.m. with a rosary recited at 7 p.m. Funeral services were held at St. Andrew Catholic Church, Pleasanton, 10 June 2013 at 10 a.m. Interment will follow in Muldoon at Pittman Cemetery. --------------------- Researched and Submitted by Gloria Neiger Bushong
