Elizabeth Langford Robbins

Elizabeth Langford Robbins was born in Natchitoches, LA on July 15, 1940, and passed away at her residence in Baton Rouge, LA on April 7, 2025, at the age of 84. 

She is preceded in death by her parents, Alex Eugene and Lillie Scott Langford; son, Robert Stanton “Red” Pearson; sister, Emily Langford Thornton; and son-in-law, John Stanley “Stan” Wood. 

She is survived by her husband, Major Robert E. Robbins (USAF, retired) of Baton Rouge, LA; son, Byron David Pearson (Lisa) of Austin, TX; daughters, Margaret Elizabeth Pearson Wood of Mountain View, MO and Catherine Amanda “Camy” Miller Maloney (Mike) of Scott AFB, IL; stepson, Robert E. “R.J” Robbins, Jr. (Christen) of Grapevine, TX, 10 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren, 2 nephews, 1 grandniece and a host of cousins.

Elizabeth was a strong woman who overcame many adversities during her lifetime. She always attributed each success to being a “Girl Raised in the South” (GRITS) and this became her mantra. She enjoyed cooking, reading, growing flowers and all sports, especially football. She was a true LSU fan and would make sure her family living out of state knew when all the LSU football, baseball and basketball games were televised. Her bright smile and wonderful sense of humor will be missed by all those who knew her. 

Funeral Services will be held Friday, April 25, 2025, at St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Ferriday, LA. There will be a Rosary at 1:00 PM, followed by visitation. The funeral Mass will begin at 2:30 PM with Father Louis Sklar and Father John Pardue officiating. Burial will be at Legion Memorial Cemetery, Newellton, LA following the Mass.
