Nicia L. Robinson

Nicia Lee Robinson, 75, passed away on November 24, 2025. Services will be Saturday, December 6, 2025 beginning with visitation at 10 am and funeral service to follow at 12 noon at Cable Baptist Church, 1875 Farnsley Road. Interment will be in Green Meadows Cemetery.

Nicia was born January 16, 1950 to James and Carrie Robinson. She was the first daughter of nine children raised in the east end of Louisville, Kentucky. She was a graduate of Ahrens High School where she discovered her gift to play the piano and often played for the school’s ceremonies. Her love for music eventually led her to become the Minister of Music for Cane Run Baptist Church.

For many years, Nicia was a member of the family church, Grace Hope Presbyterian where she sung in the choir and was ordained as a Deacon. She later united with Cable Baptist Church where her daughter was already a member. There, she immediately began serving in Ministry and developed lasting relationships with many members.

Nicia was a retiree of Brown & Williamson and Humana. She was a very avid reader; you could always find her reading a mystery novel and playing her crossword puzzles. Later, her desire to read transitioned to the Bible; she became engulfed with reading, hearing and learning the Word of God. Until her health failed her, she never missed Bible Study, Sunday School or Church Service. She was one of U of L’s biggest fans and loved watching their basketball games on mute because she couldn’t take the pressure. While she was able, she enjoyed eating out, tending to her plants, talking to her sisters and watching Perry Mason and Andy Griffin.

Throughout her life, her name was always difficult to pronounce so she was graciously given nicknames that perfectly described her character – Pig, the family nickname because she loved to eat, Nice Lady because of her big beautiful smile , Black Beauty, Beautiful, Nancy, and Bom-Bom in which her grandchildren so lovingly called her.

Nicia is survived by her daughter, Ericka Dixon; grandchildren, Eric Jr. and Taryn Robinson; adopted grandson, Devin Robinson; Sisters, Carolyn McManus, Marilyn Bailey, Anne Rayborn, Georgetta Robinson, brother-in-law Cordell Miles and a host of nieces, nephews, family and friends.

The family takes comfort in knowing she is reunited with her sons, Eric Dontez George Robinson and Byron Latelle Robinson in God’s eternal embrace. She was preceded in death by her parents, James and Carrie Robinson; brother, Clarence Robinson; sisters, Gloria Robinson, Dora (Walter) Bell, Maggie Miles, and brother-in-law Mac McManus.
