NEW MADRID, Mo. — Sammie Green Robinson was born on August 10, 1940, in Carroll Co., Mississippi, to the late Anaise and the late Nettie Anthony Green. She confessed a hope in Christ at an early age, and remained faithful until God called her home. She passed away, peacefully, on May 2, 2021, at the age of 80, in the home of her loving caregivers, Ben and Ida Syas. 

Sister, as she was so affectionally called, really enjoyed travelling, spending time at church, and being around family and friends.
