Paralee Robinson Patillo

Paralee Robinson Patillo, age 79, of Flowery Branch, Georgia, passed away on March 13, 2026. Born on October 15, 1946, in Buford, Georgia, she was the daughter of Willis and Irene Robinson. She was preceded in death by her son, Larry Patillo, her parents, and her sister, Camille Hosch.

A graduate of the class of 1964 from Grenard Watson High School, Paralee retired from the Pine Isle Hotel at Lake Lanier Islands in Buford. She was a longtime member of Union Baptist Church, where her faith remained central to her life. Even after illness prevented her from attending services in person, she continued to listen faithfully from home. She found simple joys in watching soap operas, The Price Is Right, and wrestling, but her greatest happiness came from spending time with her family.

She is survived by her daughter, Valerie Patillo of Lawrenceville, Georgia; three grandchildren; one great-grandchild; her brothers, Kenneth (Dena) Robinson of Flowery Branch and Willis (Grace) Robinson of Kansas City, Missouri; and many nieces, nephews, and cousins who will cherish her memory.
