Jacqueline “Jackie” Pawlak Robinson, 67, of Cleburne, passed away peacefully on March 29, 2026. Born on May 13, 1958, in Alliance, Ohio, Jackie lived a life marked by profound selflessness, unwavering faith, and an enduring dedication to her family and work.
Today we honor and remember a truly remarkable woman whose life was a shining example of love, strength, and devotion to Christ.
Jackie was a devoted wife, a loving mother, a proud Mawmaw, and a faithful caregiver who poured her heart into everyone she touched. She had a servant’s spirit and a giving heart that knew no limits. Whether she was caring for her family, standing faithfully beside her husband, or offering love and support to a friend, Jackie gave of herself freely and joyfully. She had a beautiful way of making everyone feel like family, and to know her was truly to be loved by her.
Jackie married the love of her life, Joe Robinson, on January 8, 1991, and together they built a life rooted in love, faith, and unwavering commitment. Her love for her family was deep and constant. Her children and grandchildren were the light of her life, and she took such tender, devoted care of her husband with steadfast love. She was a steady presence, a source of comfort, and a reflection of Christ’s love in the lives of those closest to her.
Her daughter Kelly was truly the apple of her eye and the greatest joy of her life. Jackie’s love for Kelly was deep, unwavering, and evident in everything she did. She was endlessly proud of her, fiercely supportive, and always present in both the big moments and the quiet, everyday ones. Their bond was something special, rooted in love, trust, and a closeness that will never be broken.
A devout Catholic, Jackie held firmly to her faith and her relationship with Jesus Christ. She carried her beliefs not only in word, but in the way she lived every day with humility, kindness, and a heart devoted to God. Her life reflected the beauty of Proverbs 31:10, “A woman of worth who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.” Jackie truly embodied that virtue, living as a woman of faith, strength, and grace.
Jackie faced her battle with cancer with incredible courage and dignity. She fought hard, never losing her strength or her positive spirit. Even in the hardest moments, she carried a peace that could only come from her deep and abiding faith. She trusted fully in God’s plan, knowing that whether she received healing on earth or was called home to heaven, she was safely in His hands. That same faith that sustained her now brings comfort to all who loved her.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph Francis Pawlak and Virginia Anne Sobolewski, and her brother, Mike Pawlak.
Jackie is survived by her beloved husband, Joe Robinson; her children, Kelly Robinson Dobbs and husband Clint Moore, and her daughter of the heart, Shanah Sewell and husband Greg; her grandchildren, Parker, Jackson, Hanah, Mason, Gavin, and Chloe; her great grandchildren, Ethan and Reed; her siblings, Jerry Pawlak and wife Bernie, Ed Pawlak and wife Joan, and her sister Darlene Pawlak; along with numerous nieces, nephews, relatives, and dear friends who will miss her deeply.
Jackie Robinson’s legacy is one of devotion to her faith, her family, and her life’s work. She leaves behind a beautiful example of kindness, faithfulness, and unconditional love.
There are truly not enough words to speak highly enough of her.
While our hearts are heavy, we rejoice in knowing she has been welcomed home into the arms of her Savior.
“Well done, my good and faithful servant.” Matthew 25:23
“I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live.” John 11:25
She will be missed beyond measure, loved always, and remembered forever.
