Robina had also served the town as mayoress on five occasions, when her husband Louis was mayor.

A loyal member of the Methodist Church in Caistor, Robina held many offices within the church.

She was also a keen gardener and flower arranger.

Robina leaves her husband Louis and three daughters, as well as six grandchildren, who she loved dearly.

At the funeral service, her coffin was carried into the chapel by her three sons-in-law and her one grandson.

The service was led by the Rev Sarah Parkin and tributes were made by her granddaughters, together with family friend and former minister at Caistor the Rev John Bown.
