Martha Robbins

Martha Ann Robbins died on Thursday, April 4, 2019. She was the daughter of John and Martha (Collins) Dolohanty. Martha Ann attended Edgewood High School and Edgewood College before beginning her business career at CUNA Mutual Insurance Society as Assistant to the President. She married William C. Robbins on August 29, 1959. When their first child was born, she left the business world for 14 years to devote her energy to her family, going back to school, volunteering in the school, church, the neighborhood association, and the Madison Boy Choir.

She returned to CUNA Mutual to establish the Corporate Information Center, a daily news service on the financial services industry, and the Archives. She retired from CUNA Mutual to improve her golf game and played on several golf leagues. She also enjoyed many volunteer projects including The School of Hope Program, church projects. and community programs. Always concerned about who our elected officials would be, she worked on several political campaigns.

Her true mission in life was to have a happy family, and her great joy was watching her children become well-adjusted, caring adults, whom she thoroughly enjoyed.

She is survived by her three children, Julie (Gary) Larsen, Peggy, and Brian Robbins; two truly special people: her grandsons Nate and Matt Larsen. She is also survived by sisters-in-law Donna Dolohanty and Joyce Haertl, and many nieces and nephews. Preceding her in death were her husband of over 50 years, her parents, sisters Mary Mason, Monica Francois, Patricia DeHart, and two brothers, Jack and Joseph.
