Bernadine’s incredible strength of character, quick wit and humor was enjoyed by all. She loved family and her children, their spouses, grandchildren (Steve, Kendy, Casey, Brice, Brittney) and nine great-grandchildren. She loved cooking and assisted in the cookbook “How to Make a Square Tortilla.” One of her favorite places of employment was Owen Nursery in Bloomington, Ill. Her greatest legacy and joy was raising her special needs daughter, Shelly.
Service, Love and Compassion are the characteristics of Bernadine.
Bernadine was preceded in death by her husband, Glenn Robbins; brothers, Robert and Roger; and her parents, John and Beatrice. She is survived by siblings, John Craig of Hudson, Ill., Jim Craig of Palmetto, Fla. and Sarah Aeschleman (Jim) of Eureka, Ill.
