Robinson, 89, of Lewis Farm Rd., President of Oklahoma Presbyterian College for 20 years before her retirement in 1963 and a former missionary to Japan, died March 4, 1994 at Cleveland Memorial Hospital. " A native of Gaston County, she was the daughter of the late William A. and Hannah White Robinson. She was a graduate of Flora McDonald College in Red Springs and Presbyterian School of Christian Education in Richmond, Va. and completed graduate study at Bible Seminary in New York, at Duke University and at the University of North Carolina. St. Andrew's Presbyterian College at Laurinburg named her Christian Educator of the Year. She was the first woman deacon at Long Creek Presbyterian Church and served as president of the Women of the Church and also as a former Sunday School teacher. She had been a member of the Long Creek Presbyterian Church for many years. Miss Robinson, widely respect- ed lay leader in the Presbyterian Church USA, had not confined her service to Oklahoma Presbyterian College. Evidence of her fellow citizens' regard for her came in 1960 when she was named Woman of the Year by the Business and Professional Women's Clubs. Prior to her graduate study she taught high school Mathematics and Science. A later assignment was teaching five years at the Golden Castle College for Girls in Japan. When strained relations be- tween the United States and Japan prevented a longer tour of duty, she taught Bible at Highland Institute in Kentucky before moving to Durant, Oklahoma. When asked about the inevitable problems.connected with her type of work, Miss Robinson admitted there had been frustrations. "But the satisfactions so far out- weigh the problems that they seem almost negligible," she said. For a time financial problems were serious at the college but the school's money problems soon cleared up. Another difficulty was getting staff members in the early years. One important area of expansion is connected with OPC's role as in- ternational center which has been known throughout the world. But it was not only the service to foreign students which Miss Robinson recalled with satisfac- tion. American Indian students have been served through the years. Robinson said in an interview after her retirement that many stu- dents came with language handi- caps and with almost complete lack of confidence. "For so many boys and girls," she explained, "OPC has been the only possible opportunity for edu- cation." She is survived by one sister, Mary R. Lee of Chesapeake, Va. The funeral was conducted Sunday at 3 p.m. at Harris Chapel by Rev. James Welch. Burial was in Long Creek Presbyterian Church Cemetery. Memorials may be made to Long Creek Presbyterian Church, Route 3. Box 941-A, Kings Mountain, 28086. GENEVA J. RUDISILL DALLAS - Geneva J. Rudisill, 82, died March 2, 1994 at Kings Mountain Hospital.
