BIOGRAPHY

Holman-Robinson was born in Pasadena, California on 16 July 1914. She was raised Christian, attending church services for her entire life. She would play the piano at weeknight church services when she was 16, and was still to complete her day’s homework

Holman-Robinson met her husband, Robert Benjamin Holman Sr., at a southern California church convention. Their first date was a day at the seaside, and regularly sent romantic letters to each other. They married in 1938 with a beautiful ceremony, and later moved to Sacramento, California, where her husband became a pastor.

Holman-Robinson’s husband bought her two Cadillac cars, one blue and one burgundy. The couple were married for 58 years until she was widowed in 1996. They had two children, as well as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Holman-Robinson’s eldest grandchild, Angelique, was 64 at the time of her grandmother’s 110th birthday.

Holman-Robinson lives in a nursing home in Carmichael, near Sacramento, at the age of 110.
