Willa Denise Robinson was a special gift, born on December 25, 1978 to William Grant Robinson and Andrea Rivers Robinson in Winston-Salem, NC. On September 18, 2023, with her earthly assignments completed, she gained her heavenly wings.

She attended Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools and was a graduate of Robert E. Glenn High School. While there, she was a member of the Crosby Scholars, the Mattie E. Coleman Summer Enrichment Program, and the Glenn High Marching Band.

With a desire to enhance her education, she enrolled in NC A&T State University. She pursued her love of music and became a member of the NC A&T Marching Band. She earned her BA degree and was a proud graduate of the university.

She was employed as a supervisor of pharmacy technicians at Southern Pharmacy.

Willa shared her faith with others as a Sunday school teacher at Wayside CME Church. Later, on April 20, 2014, she joined St. Peter's World Outreach Center (SPWOC) where she actively participated in many worship services until her health declined.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents: Virginia Robinson and Rosa Rivers; uncle, Michael Robinson; and aunt, Cindy Walker.
