Amy Jo (Lewis) Robinson

Amy Jo (Lewis) Robinson February 7, 1977 – November 30, 2018 Amy Jo Robinson, 41 of Bloomington, Indiana died Friday evening surrounded by her family after a courageous yearlong battle with a rare form of Sarcoma cancer. Born in Bloomington and a lifelong resident of Monroe County, Amy was well known and loved by the many she touched throughout her life. She never knew a stranger, was a great listener and always saw the positive in everyone and every situation. Many of those connections came through her career as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Pom squad coach at Bloomington High School South, participation in her children’s sporting activities, active member of Tri Kappa Alpha Chapter from 2007 to 2017, Boys and Girls Club Auxiliary and as member of The First Christian Church of Bloomington, Indiana. Amy graduated from Bloomington High School South in 1995, earned her Bachelor degree in Human Development and Family Studies, and Master’s Degree in Social Work from Indiana University in 2002. Following graduation, she joined McConn Partners in Bloomington as an Individual and Family Therapist working with children and families throughout Southern Indiana. Following the birth of her son she became an associate faculty member and field liaison at Indiana University in the School of Social Work. Amy was a devoted wife and mother; her children were the center of her world and she loved nothing more than watching her kids do the things they love and spending time with those she’d developed close relationships with at those events. Weekends of cheer competitions, dance recitals, Scrapper baseball tournaments and basketball games were the things she looked forward to the most, never missing a game or event throughout her treatment until recent weeks. She had her priorities straight and was an inspiration to many. She loved road trips, camping with friends, singing and being with those she held closest to her heart. She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Emmett and Phyllis Lewis, Harry and Alta Matson, parents, Philip and Donna Lewis and half-sister Chris Linko. Amy is survived by her husband, Ryan Robinson, their children Maely Robinson, 14, Graedan Robinson, 9, sister Gina (Bruce) Myers of Bloomington, Indiana, half-sisters Karen (Bill) Shiflet Michelle Wright, 10 nieces and nephews and many extended family and close friends. Visitation will be held on Wednesday, December 5, 2018 4:00p.m. to 8:00p.m. at Allen Funeral Home, 4155 S. Old State Road 37, Bloomington, Indiana. A Memorial service will be held on Thursday, December 6, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. at The First Christian Church of Bloomington, 205 E. Kirkwood Ave, Bloomington, Indiana.
