October 6, 1940 – December 27, 2025
Edith “Enell” Nell McLawchlin Robison, born on October 6, 1940, in Harrisonburg, Louisiana, lived a life defined by love, generosity, and dedication to her family and community.
She moved to Alexandria to attend Louisiana College, where she met the love of her life, Tucker Robison. The two were married on July 15, 1961, and shared a deep and joyful partnership throughout their lives. Though given the name Edith, she preferred to be called Enell, or simply “E,” as she was affectionately known by many.
Enell is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Tucker Robison; her sister, Allie Rose Fuglaar; and her parents, John Tilden McLawchlin and Laura Scott McLawchlin.
She is survived by her children, Kenneth Robison (Camille), Scott Robison (Val), and Kristie Robison (Michael). She also leaves behind five cherished grandchildren, Katy Robison (Matt), Mikey Robison (Lucky), Jackson Robison (Chryslyn), Chloe Kress, and Calleigh Kress, as well as her nephew James Fuglaar (Rita) and their two children.
A gifted student, Enell majored in mathematics and began her career teaching at Brame Junior High and later at Nachman. After choosing to stay home with her children for several years, she returned to the workforce as a loan officer with Hibernia Bank, where she found great joy in helping people in her community achieve their goals. Her commitment to service extended beyond her career, she was active in the Kiwanis Club and involved in numerous community organizations. After retiring from Hibernia, she remained engaged through her investment club and her book club, both of which brought her continued friendship and fulfillment.
Enell will also be remembered for her remarkable talent for cooking and entertaining. Her home was a place of warmth, welcome, and celebration. Her Christmas gatherings were legendary—filled with laughter, generosity, and the traditions she lovingly created—and this year was no exception.
On December 27, 2025, Enell passed peacefully at Rapides General Hospital as the sun set, surrounded by her family.
The family extends heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Deepak Sharma and the staff at Premier Urgent Care for their devoted care, to the doctors and nurses at Rapides for their compassion during her final days, as well as Wanel Lewis and all the wonderful staff at Direct Care Services for excellent care at home when it was needed.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Montessori Educational Center, 4209 North Bolton Ave., Alexandria, Louisiana 71303 or to a charity of your choice.
A celebration of Enell’s life will be held at a later date.
