Peggy Jones Robinson

Peggy Ann Robinson, age 71, of Pleasant Hill, MO, passed away on January 14, 2026, at Saint Lukes East Hospital. She was born June 15, 1954, in Harrisonville, MO, to Paul Jones and Opal Sites Jones.

She grew up working on the family farm tending the vegetable garden to help her parents feed a family of six, making trips to the timber to gather black walnuts and most important to her, ensuring that their multiple kitty cats got their share of cow’s milk during milking time.

Peggy graduated from Sherwood High School in 1972 and began her career with the General Services Administration (GSA) in Kansas City working her way up from an entry level position as a clerk-stenographer to a senior level management position as the Chief of Staff in the GSA Public Building Service division. Along the way she received multiple awards and commendations for her excellent work including a thank you letter from then President Bill Clinton.

In 1998 after a long courtship (too long as she would often tell!) she married Jack Robinson. They lived in Overland Park, KS, until they both retired in 2000. They then moved to the Lake of the Ozarks, which they both said were the best 10 years of their lives. Living right on the lake, boating, & fishing was much fun, especially with their kids & granddaughter. They moved to Pleasant Hill, MO, in 2011, and enjoyed the small-town life where she enjoyed gardening and tending to her beautiful flower beds.

She is preceded in death by her husband Jack Robinson, daughter Shelly Robinson, parents Paul and Opal Jones, and her brother Daryl Jones.

Survivors include two sisters, Joyce McCulloh from Prosper Texas, Brenda Schnorf (Jerry) from Independence Missouri; son Terry Robinson (Karen) from Camarillo California; granddaughter Erica Jensen (Mike) from Santa Barbara California; two great granddaughters, Sage and Emma Jensen from Santa Barbara, many nieces, nephews and cousins and of course her fur-babies, Thelma Lou and Barney.
