Obituary
Cora Joy Robson was born September 21, 1977 in Salem, Massachusetts to Joe Robson and Joy Hance and went to be in the arms of Jesus on August 11, 2023. Taken from us too soon, she was 45 years old.
Cora was a brilliant young lady, with an accomplished academic mind. She held a Bachelor of Science degree in both Political Science and Geography, and taught at the University of Arkansas while pursing a Master’s Degree in Political Science. She also realized a lifelong dream of working in the library at the University of Arkansas, a job she truly enjoyed. Research at her figure tips! Cora loved intellectual discussions, and because of her love of learning, her unique global perspective, and her wonderful mind you could always count on her for an interesting conversation.
Being an avid nature enthusiast, she loved hiking, and spent several months hiking the Appalachian Trail. Preserving the environment was always a top priority for her, and she lived in a sacrificial way that was reflected in her lifestyle. She treasured and loved her family immensely. Her heart was full of mercy and compassion always looking for ways to fight for justice for the oppressed. Cora was proud of the work she personally did restoring her home. Above everything, the love of Cora’s life was her son, Isaiah. She devoted every moment to him, and made sure to instill a love of books, music and the great outdoors, hiking with him daily. There was nothing in her life that came before him.
Cora is survived by her son, Isaiah Priest; father and step-mother, Joe and Marcia Robson of Fayettville, Arkansas; mother, Joy Hance of Fort Smith; sister April Florida and husband Rob of Fayetteville; sister, Heather Crossland and husband LeRoy of Springdale; sister, Shivaun Carter and husband Derek of West Fork; sister, Serina Allen and husband Collin of Fayetteville; and sister, Tahlia Robson of Fayetteville, as well as numerous nephews, nieces, aunts and uncles. She was a treasure and will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved her.
A graveside service will be held at 3PM at Evergreen Cemetery in Fayetteville, Arkansas on Tuesday, August 15, followed by a Memorial Service at Fellowship Church in Fayetteville.
