My heart was so heavy reading the transition of Jean ! Rest in peace classy lady. Your beautiful smile is still here with us!
My prayers and condolences are extended to the family of Mrs. Jean Alice Robinson. I have known Jean since I was a child growing up in Emmanuel AME Church and living in the same community. She has been an inspiration spiritually, educationally, intellectually and has served notably to others. She many positions in the church with dignity and expertise. She graced our Worship Services with her melodious soprano voice. She taught her students to become productive and notable citizens. She was an immaculate fashion icon and those who came in contact with her benefited from her expertise. Heaven has gained a beautiful rose in its flower and an extraordinary worker in the vineyard.
I wish to extend my condolences to the family of Jean Alice as I knew her. . Jean was our class leader (of the class of 1954) in recent years. We will truly miss her.

Beautiful from the inside out. From my childhood elementary experience through the present day, I have admired Mrs. Jean Robinson. We chatted and shared various stories, interests and life challenges occasionally. She will be missed.
We commend her niece for providing the TLC ❤️ that she deserved until the end. Happy Heavenly Birthday this Friday. You have fought a good fight and finished the course. God’s Promise has been fulfilled.

Sending prayers and love❤I have known Mrs. Green Robinson since my days at Satchel Ford Elementary. She was a wonderful teacher and always walked with grace and stylish! My sincere condolences.
My deepest condolences to the family of Jean Alice Green. The beautiful Jean Alice, as we’ve always called her, has been a part of every important event of my family’s life for all of my life. She was an integral part of our church life at Emmanuel A.M.E. and of our education at Carver School. She will be greatly missed.
I was so sorry to hear of Mrs. Robinson’s passing. Many years ago she was one of the volunteer tutors at A.J. Lewis Greenview Elementary School where I worked. She also served as one of the school’s substitute teachers having substituted in my class. I remember her wit, style, and commitment to education. She was a very classy, snazzy dresser. My condolences to her family. May she rest in heavenly peace.
Never will forget the perfume she wore. From kitchen staff at Satchel Ford Elementary school food service dept
Our prayers for God’s comfort and our deep condolences to Mrs. Jean Robinson’s family and friends..
I am saddened to learn of the passing of my last remaining Carver Elementary School teacher.
She was a true treasure to many of the area African American Baby Boomers!
Her disciplined and thorough teaching style influenced, challenged, and encouraged her students’ various gifts
and abilities and creativity.
Ms. Green, as we knew her then, was both my husband Sherman’s and my 5th grade teacher during different times.
She directed me to various paths, which enhanced and grew my God-given natural abilities.
And over the years, Sherman has spoken many times of his 5th grade, boy’s view of Ms. Green as a “pretty teacher”!
And we both have very fond memories of Mrs. Robinson when she attended our, respective, 65th and 50th birthday celebrations.
She helped enliven the events both times with her wonderful, light-hearted, humorous tributes.
And whenever we would cross paths with Mrs. Robinson on Fort Jackson, she was always, always! well clad.
May your sweet and loving memories of Mrs. Jean Griffin Robinson help to soothe you and bring you joy in the coming days.
Jean Alice was a special coworker and a special friend. She set the highest standards for herself and everyone around her. She was a classy lady….Jean Alice, rest in peace.
My condolences to the family of Jean Alice as I new her at C. A. Johnson High School a very beautiful person inside and out rest in peace.
Mrs Robinson was one my moms(Naomi Dickson Scott) dearest friends. Growing up I thought Ms Jean, Mrs Garner and my mom were attached at the hip because they were together so much. Most of the time if you saw one the others were not far behind. She was beautiful inside and out. Now the 3 amigos will be back together again. I thank God allowing Mrs Robinson to be a part of our lives. Take your rest beautiful lady. My condolences to the family.
Our prayers are with the family at this time. We all loved her, and she was a wonderful person and very pleasing to be in her present.
She will be missed!
Our prayers and love to the family.
Jean was our neighbor. She was a wonderful person and will truly be missed.

I have known Mrs. Robinson for as far back as I can remember as a child growing up in Emmanuel A M.E. Church. She was very close to my family. She also taught my sisters Rita and Susan at Carver Elementary School. I am already missing talking with her. My family and I are sending our deepest condolences.
To the Family of Jean, our heart felt condolences to you all. May God comfort you all with His love and Peace
Growing up in Columbia, SC….I have known Mrs. Jean since 1976. We were neighbors in Highland Park. Although many knew her by her nickname ‘Mean Jean Green’ back then…I am delighted to say that she was the total opposite of this as a person! As one of her elementary school students, I quickly learned that she demanded the very best of ALL of her students! She always maintained her sense of class, fashion, and style! Thank you for blessing my life with your example of excellence! The 🌎 world is a better place because of you Sister Jean! Blessings to your soul as your legacy continues to be remembered!
My deepest sympathy to you the family and loving friends for your loss, please remember God’s grace is sufficient.
I knew Mrs. Jean Robinson my entire life. Not only was she my church member, she was like family to me. I grieve with the family because my heart is broken because I will truly miss her. Jean Griffin Robinson may the work you have done speak for you.
Sending deepest condolences to the family and friends of Mrs. Jean Griffin Robinson. I fondly remember all of the love, support and encouragement she gave me as a young man growing up. May God comfort you and give you peace at this time and in the days to come. 🙏
