Rebecca Elizabeth Robinson, 50, Bettendorf, Iowa, passed away
peacefully surrounded by loved ones on Thursday, February
8, 2018, at Clarissa Cook Hospice House. Rebecca was born
December 31, 1967 in Ravenna, Ohio. She graduated in 1986
from Moon High School in Pennsylvania. In 1990, Rebecca
graduated from Pennsylvania State University with a B.S. in
accounting. Rebecca worked for 22 years in the software industry.
Her greatest joy was spending time with her husband, Bruce, and
her son, Sam. She enjoyed preparing gourmet meals, attending
Sam’s sporting and musical events, traveling and working in their
yard. She loved volunteering at Sam’s elementary school and managed
the school’s book fair. She was witty and her laugh encompassed her whole heart and body.
An avid reader, she delighted in having discussions on many topics; her repertoire of interests
included current news events, the latest best sellers and the classics. Despite her slender
frame, she was an amazing kickboxer and packed a powerful punch. In the same spirit as she
approached all she did, she courageously battled fallopian cancer for seven years, including over
30 rounds of chemotherapy. Rebecca is survived by her husband, Bruce Robinson, CEO of
Farmer’s State Bank of Western Illinois, Bettendorf; son, Samuel Robinson; brother, Randolph
Charles (Jerelind), Alabama; brother-in-law, Bret Robinson (Sharon), Davenport; father, Frank
Charles, Bettendorf; father-in law, Leon Robinson, Bettendorf; grandmother, Elizabeth Beamer,
Bettendorf; nephews and nieces, Wil Charles, Aileen Charles, Annika Robinson, Logan
Robinson, and Kellen Robinson; cousins, Kim Robinson Hawkinson and Grace Madison; and her
beloved dog, Toby. Memorials can be made to Junior League of the Quad Cities or to the Norma
Leah Foundation for Ovarian Cancer Research and Awareness.

The League extends our warmest thoughts and deepest sympathies to all the family
members, friends and colleagues whose loved ones have passed.
