Obituary
Her Journey
Aurelia Doris Robinson was the third oldest child born September 3, 1923 to the union of the late William Carothers and Aurelia Dorothy Walden Robinson in Mitchell County, Georgia.
Aurelia, affectionately known as Doris by family and close friends, was reared in Mitchell County, Georgia until age six. Doris continued her upbringing with her devoted aunt (Dezzie Mae Meggett) in Charleston, South Carolina.
Doris began her Christian experience at an early age as a member of Oak Grove AME Church in Mitchell County, Georgia. She had always been affiliated with the AME church throughout her life. Doris joined Trinity AME Church in Atlanta, Georgia and was an active member until her health prevented her from attending services.
Doris received her public education in Charleston, South Carolina. She graduated from high school and attended the Historical Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia, where she earned her Bachelor's Degree in Teachers Education. Doris later earned her Master's Degree at Atlanta University in Atlanta, Georgia. Doris worked and earned her Doctorate Degree in Education from Oklahoma University in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Doris' professional life started at Rockdale High School, Camilla, Georgia in the fall of 1947 and Doris was promoted three years later to a teaching position at Ballard-Hudson in Macon, Georgia, where she taught until 1969. In 1969, Doris took a sabbatical leave to work on her Doctorate Degree. After completing work of her Doctorate Degree, she gained a position at Savannah State University in Savannah, Georgia. Doris continued her professional employment with the transfer of her position to Armstrong State University also in Savannah, Georgia.
Doris became a graduate member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and remained an active member until her health declined. Doris was a founding member of Societas Docta, Inc. Doris was honored by Spelman College with a Founders Day Award in 2006. Doris also received many recognition awards from various organizations through her professional affiliations.
Doris was always devoted to family and took a leadership role in family activities. She encouraged everyone to pursue higher education.
Doris' favorite pastime was dining at an eatery with family and friends. Doris also enjoyed traveling to various destinations.
Doris had three sisters, Sarah Gwendolyn, Christine Geneva and Theora Vashti, and three brothers, Cornell Baxter, William Carothers, Jr. and Oliver Wendell, all preceded her in death.
Dr. Aurelia Doris Robinson left her earthly house on July 4, 2014 at Botsford Hospital in Farmington, Michigan.
Doris leaves to cherish her memory: loving and devoted brother, Robert (Isabella) Robinson of Pompano Beach, Florida; one loving and devoted sister, Alethia E. Henderson of Detroit, Michigan; a sister-in-law, Lilly Robinson of Jacksonville, Florida; and a host of other nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Life
Life is but a stopping place, a pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road, to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys, different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
But never meant to stay.
Our destination is a place, far greater than we know,
For some, the journey's quicker, for some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends, we'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace, together with the Lord.
