JULIE ANN ROBSON

Condolences & Memories (45 entries)

• I remember when Ms. Robson was the librarian at SMP. She was the most kind and joyful person. She would light up the room with her smile. I would go to the library at lunch to book club where she would read to us a long novel chapter by chapter every week. She taught me punctuality, respect, kindness, and was one of the most wonderful people I ever knew. I was happy to be the master of ceremonies for the 100th anniversary of the school and her be there was a special moment. - Posted by: Mason Cameron (Student - Salisbury Morse Place School) on: Aug 30, 2019

• A friend and mentor for 35 years, I knew her since the age of 11 years. I was one of her 1st students when she came to Salisbury but to me she was so much more than just a librarian. She had the power to change people's lives by influencing them just by being present. And that's what she did for me. It's the ultimate gift, I think, that money and things can't buy - when you give someone your time and you let them be around you even when you have a house to clean, groceries to pick up, meals to make and a family to take care of. She let me be with her when there was no one else to be with and I got to follow the example that she set. It changed the course of my life because she gave me guidance when I needed it most. - Posted by: Laureen Kornel (Student and later friend) on: Jun 23, 2016

• I worked briefly at SMP as the Community Coordinator and a teacher. Julie was so friendly and helpful. She put in extra time helping me in the evenings with School family events like Movie Nights and making Gingerbread Houses. I heard today of her passing and what a loss for the SMP community. A great photo of Julie! She was truly a beautiful person inside and out. - Posted by: J.Martin (coworker ) on: Apr 21, 2016

• Mrs.Robson was an amazing librarian. She would help me find books when I couldn't find a book. She was fun and she always had a smile on her face I never once saw her without a smile.

• I will miss my friend. I enjoyed her company at the lake. She especially liked going boating and beachcombing with the dogs. For 20 years my friend Julie has been part of a group of girls who meet in cottage country every fall. We are so Thankful this group of girls met in late August instead of September and were blessed with her company. She will be deeply missed at future get-togethers.

• Mrs.Robson was a wonderful lady with a big heart who I always saw had a smile. I remember her from kindergarten when she used to read us story's at library and make sure we had our legs crossed and our mouths closed I never enjoyed reading and I'm not very good at it but she always found me some short stories I could enjoy while allot of the other students would read there long novels, when I got into grade five I started to learn how the library was arranged with the alphabetical orders and genres. So instead of taking out books that I would never read anyways I would help her return the books to there rightful spot. I was like her little assistant which I loved since I did not enjoy reading. When I got to middle years I would help her organize the middle years library and talk with her and she helped me find a couple good books that I actually read (although I only finished one or two) I will always remember Mrs.Robson as a kind and wonderful librarian and I wish her and her family the best and I wish I could have visited her once before she passed.

• For my elementary and jr. high years she was a pillar in my school... knowing her as a teacher, one that loved "her" children, always smiling, listening and guiding us.. fast forward to the late 90's where she became all that for my old son... fast forward again to the 2000's where once again I got the privilege to reconnect with her, this time for my middle son and daughter... now she was Julie to me instead of Mrs. Robson... Today we remembered just how lucky we were to have known her... Salisbury Morse Place libraries will not be the same without your contagious smile... We will miss you... and look forward to the day we can meet again.. - Posted by: Jennifer Vasas (Former student and mother to former and current students) on: Oct 03, 2015

• We are so saddened to learn of Julie's untimely passing when she had so much to give to her family, her profession and her church. Our our deepest sympathies and sincerest condolences are extended to all her family. Julie has been known to us ever since she began her career at Salisbury Morse Place School. We had the good fortune of both our daughters loving to go into her library and always coming home highly enthusiastic about Mrs Robson. Julie was forever the exuberant person who would light up a room or a meeting like a burst of sunshine. Always positive in her outlook she inspired students and adults alike. She will be greatly missed and fondly remembered. May the sun eternally shine upon her face and the wind always blow upon her back. Please save us a cozy corner in your heavenly library. À Dieu and farewell. - Posted by: Norm and Sachi Guilbert (Retired colleagues) on: Oct 02, 2015

She helped me to find books that she knew I would love to read and she always was right. There are lots of very sad teachers and kids at school and library time won't be the same without Mrs. Robson.

She was the 2nd "mom" to our daughter Jocelyn when were in a play together as mother & daughter. We miss Julie greatly.

• I met Julie at Albright Church when she volunteered to help with our perogy making fundraiser. She said it she wanted to help for selfish reasons (she wanted to learn how to make perogies) but she didn't have a selfish bone in her body. She was my right-hand lady when organizing our fundraisers and learned the recipe perfectly. She never refused when I asked her for her help with the fundraisers and I will miss her terribly. My prayers are with you Doug, Rob, Heidy, Ben and Thomas. - Posted by: Laurie Lyss (Friend) on: Oct 01, 2015

• Mrs.Robson was our librarian when I was in elementary school. She was someone I always looked forward to seeing every day. She saw how much I loved to read and encouraged it like no other. She would gather big stacks of books for me, ones she knew I would like and ones she thought were important for me to read, and have them ready when I came to the library. She was such a wonderful woman, she truly cared about the people in her life and the lives of those she touched. Knowing her changed my life, I have never and will never forget about her. My heart goes out to her family and loved ones. She was a truly special lady and I know she will be deeply missed. Rest in peace Mrs.Robson - Posted by: Shayla Elliott (Student ) on: Oct 01, 2015

I was in the drama club and I remember every year for the play, her going above and beyond and staying late to help us set up the stage and lighting. She definitely made a positive impact on me and is someone I'll always remember when I look back on my time at SMP.

• Ms.Robson was one of the most kind hearted women you would ever have the chance to meet. I have memories of her reading to my class as a child, and helping me find that special book. All the way up to after my graduation when I would stop by to say hi to some of my old teachers as an adult, she would remeber me right away and would have such an interest about how my life is, what I've been up too and how my family is doing. She went way too soon and will be missed by everyone who had the pleasure to meet her. - Posted by: Kris Greenley (Student ) on: Sep 30, 2015

• My sincere condolences to the Robson family. I first met Julie at Salisbury Morse Place School in the early 80s.

• My brother and I were students of Salisbury School in the early 80's and Mrs. Robson was just starting out at that time. We always remember her as the sweetest person, always with a smile on her face. She made reading such a joy for her students and always took the time to help us find the perfect book. I was so happy to find out that she was still working at Salisbury Morse Place when my two boys started school just a few years ago. She was still the same happy, smiling lady I always remember from many moons ago and my boys were blessed to have her as a librarian as well. We were all so upset when we heard she was sick and absolutely devastated when we found out that she had lost her battle at such a young age. We want to give our sincere condolences to her family. We will always hold her dear in our hearts for making such a huge impact in our childhoods. Salisbury Morse Place will never be quite the same without her. Rest in peace Mrs. Robson. We will truly miss you. - Posted by: Sandra (Student) on: Sep 30, 2015
