______
HON. TROY A. CARTER
of louisiana
in the house of representatives
Monday, March 7, 2022
Mr. CARTER of Louisiana. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Octavia Green Robinson.
Octavia Green Robinson was born March 19, 1947, in New Orleans, Louisiana to Myrtle August Green and Oliver Daniel Green, Sr. Affectionately known to all as ``Tay'' and ``Big Momma'' Robinson, she left this life on February 6, 2022, at the age of 74. She was surrounded by her family, just like she would have wanted.
Octavia grew up in New Orleans' Historic 7th Ward. She is a graduate of Joseph S. Clark Senior High School, Dillard University, and Tulane University School of Social Work where she received her master's degree.
She was a decorated Sergeant with the New Orleans Police Department where in her early years she was part of the all-women's team who created Community Relations which became a source of refuge and hope for the people of New Orleans. Octavia moved through the ranks of departments such as Juvenile Division, and others and retired following 45 years of service.
Octavia was a proud member of Beautiful Zion Baptist Church, the First District Baptist Association, and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. Octavia leaves her legacy of love for all in the hands of her beloved husband of 47 years Edward J. Robinson, Sr., and her children she so adored, Nicole Robinson (Jafar), and Edris Robinson-Dupard (Joseph), Kimberly Robinson, and Eddie Robinson, Jr. Octavia is also survived by 10 grandchildren, and one great grandchild.
Octavia's legacy will forever be ``No One Left Behind''. Octavia was all about family. She took in and cared for many around the world. Her love and caring ways for all will forever live on.
