A beautiful soul has found eternal rest. On November 8, 2023, we bid farewell to a beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, and friend, Josephine Patton-Robbins. Born on January 12, 1944, in Lexington, Mississippi, Josephine departed this world in Biloxi, MS.

Josephine's spirit lives on in the hearts of her adoring daughters, Tanya Patton, Waukesha Hall (Kevin), and Kristy Robbins; her devoted son, James Robbins Jr.; and her treasured grandchildren, Jaelen, Elijah, and Davante. She is also remembered by her loving brother-in-law, Howard Moore; devoted cousin, Henry “Tank” Smith; and a host of cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Awaiting her with open arms in the realms beyond are her beloved husband, James Robbins Sr.; her grandparents, Joe Henry Patton and Lila Patton; her mother, Carrie Patton; her brothers, Robert Patton, Jerry Patton, James Redmond Jr., George Patton, Garfield Patton, Albert Patton, Andrew Patton Sr.; and her sisters, Ernestine Doty (Bill), Clara Carpenter (Frank), Mary Elizabeth Mitchell (Dan).

Josephine's life was a testament to the beauty found in simple pleasures. From the aromas of her kitchen to the bliss of a shopping excursion, the tranquility of church, the serenity of a garden, and the harmony of her voice lifted in song, she found joy in every moment. Gospel melodies and the soulful tunes of Sam Cooke were the soundtrack to her life.

A cornerstone of faith, Josephine was a proud member of Greater Antioch Missionary Baptist Church in Pascagoula, Mississippi. Her unwavering commitment and contagious spirit enriched the lives of all who had the privilege of sharing a pew with her.

In honor of Josephine's memory, the family requests that floral tributes be sent to Becks funeral home in Louisville, MS.
