    Obituary for Jefferson Robbins

    Jefferson  Robbins
    Jefferson or “Jeff” as he was affectionately called was born on February 7, 1936 to the late Saunders and Minnie Robbins in Snow Hill, Maryland. Jeff was one of seven children and was educated in the Worcester Public School system.

    Growing up, Jeff always had a love for cars and moved to the Philadelphia area in 1955 where he began working for Pep Boys for several years. He later worked for Caleco Coin Operating Company and then opened his own Auto Body Shop, known as “The Bird Brothers” with his brother Jerry in 1985 until retirement. It was there that Jeff was given the nickname “Bird.” During his lifetime, Jeff made many friends, was known for his way with words and his outspoken nature. He had a special talent for fixing anything he touched, loved music, restoring classic cars and watching cowboy movies but more than anything he loved his family and friends.

    Jeff married his current wife, Christine in 1992 and later moved to Claymont, Delaware where he resided until the Lord called him home on June 27, 2017.

    Jeff leaves to mourn his wife Christine Robbins; six children: Stacey Miller, Monica Willingham, Eric Robbins, Kevin Robbins, Tiffany Mercer-Robbins, Devone Robbins; One brother Lonnie Robbins and wife April; Six grandchildren: Eric, Alex, Tyler, Paige, Asia, Chase, Chandler, Chance and Chelsea; One great granddaughter: Sydney; Two sons-in-law: Stan and Joseph; Two daughters-in-law: JuaQunia and Anyika; a host of nephews, nieces, cousins and friends.
