Mary Linda “Gail” Robinson
March 31, 1949 – October 10, 2025
It is with heavy hearts, that the family of Mary Linda “Gail” Robinson announce her peaceful
passing on October 10, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. Born in Saint John on March 31,
1949, Gail was the daughter of the late Gerald and Geraldine (Lanteigne) Arsenault.
Gail dedicated 21 years of her career to Red Rose Tea. More than anything, she was devoted to
her family—her greatest joy, constant focus, and true passion. She cherished time spent with her
beloved grandchildren, affectionately known as her “little Pumpkins,” and nothing lit up her face
more than supporting them at their many events.
She loved swimming, dancing, and relaxing at Camp David on Robinhood Lake. Sunday dinners
were a treasured tradition, where Gail brought the family together with her delicious home-
cooked meals. In her later years, she developed a love for gardening, taking great pride in her
flowers.
Gail will be deeply missed by her sons David (Debbie) Robinson and Scott (Kelly) Robinson;
her cherished grandchildren Gregory and Ryan (Renay Barry-Hanley) all of Saint John; her
brothers Gary (Barb) Arsenault of Fredericton and Gordon (Dorothy) Arsenault of Grand Bay-
Westfield; and her sister-in-law Ginny Kelly of Prince Edward Island. She also leaves behind
many nieces and nephews, along with aunts, uncles, and cousins who will mourn her loss.
She was predeceased by her beloved husband Alan “Buzz” Robinson, daughter Tammy
Robinson, brother Glendon Arsenault, and her infant twin Gary.
Gail’s family would like to thank her neighbours, who supported her and Al throughout the
years. They would also like to thank the staff of the family medicine, oncology, and palliative
care units of the Saint John Regional Hospital for their care during Gail’s illness.
Arrangements are under the care of Fundy Funeral Home, 230 Westmorland Road (506-646-
2424). Visitation will be held on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, from 2–4 PM and 6–8 PM. A
Funeral Liturgy will be celebrated on Thursday, October 16, 2025, at 10 AM.
For those wishing to make a donation in Gail’s memory, contributions may be made to the
Canadian Cancer Society or a charity of the donor’s choice.
