Celia G. Robinson

Celia Gayle Robinson, fondly known as “CG”, departed this earthly life, September 10, 2025, at her residence in Charlotte, North Carolina.  Born January 24, 1961, in Stanly County, North Carolina, “CG’ was the daughter of the late Arthur and Cecilia Warey Robinson. Our hearts grieve her passing and rejoice in knowing that “CG” now rest in God’s eternal care. 

She was a graduate of North Stanly High School, New London, North Carolina and matriculated to

Johnson C. Smith University, Charlotte, North Carolina, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology.  Gayle dedicated over 30 years of her life to the field of social work, serving with unwavering compassion, integrity, and commitment. Her life’s work was deeply rooted in her love for children and families. She was widely known for her heartfelt passion and tireless advocacy on their behalf.

At the time of her passing, “CG” was continuing her meaningful work as an Adoption Social worker with the  Mecklenburg County Department of Social Services, Charlotte, helping to identify permanent loving homes for children in need. Her role involved working closely with families and agencies to ensure that every child had the opportunity to be placed with a “forever family”, a mission she pursued with dedication and grace. “CG” was a beautiful, hardworking, devoted, and empathetic professional who made a lasting impact on the lives of countless children and families.

She was also a devoted member and Deacon of Matthews Murland Presbyterian Church, where she served God by supporting the homeless and mentoring youth in the community. Her legacy was one of service, love, and hope.

Left to cherish and honor her memory are her boyfriend, John Burrell; nephew, Michael Robinson; sisters-in-law: Carrie Robinson and Maxine Robinson; nieces, nephews, cousins; closest friends: Jennifer Drisker, Paula Leonard, and Tasha Pile; additional friends and colleagues.
