MUNISING, MI – Rev. Christina “Tina” Robb, age 71, quietly passed away at 3:30pm on Friday, April 26, 2024, at the MediLodge Nursing Center of Munising. She had resided at MediLodge with her husband Jim by her side since May of 2023. Tina is now pain free and in the arms of Jesus at peace.
Tina was born in North Plainfield, NJ on September 17, 1952, the first child born to Dorothy T. (Tucher) and Kenneth H. Collins. She was also the first grandchild on both sides of the family. Tina had one brother Paul who preceded her in death in 1994.
Tina attended college at Muskingum University in New Concord, OH and graduated in 1974. She felt the call from God to become a pastor, following her grandfather, the Venerable Henry Van Parsell of New Jersey. She attended Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY from 1974-1979. She studied theology and was ordained in the Presbyterian Church of the United States in Cincinnati along with her husband the Rev. James Robb in August of 1980. Tina and Jim were united in marriage on August 23, 1975, in Louisville, KY. They were not blessed with any children, but they were “parents” to many dogs during their 49¢ years of marriage. Tina was currently a member of Munising United Methodist Church.
A Memorial Service will be held at the Munising United Methodist Church at 2:00pm on Saturday, June 15, 2024, with Rev. Sandy Kolder officiating.
