She was born in Plantersville, Texas in Grimes County on June 21, 1919 to Martin and Louisa Klein. She had recently been a resident at St. Joseph's Manor in Bryan, Texas and Argent Court in Brenham. She resided in San Antonio, Texas for the last 50 years. Madeleine attended Incarnate Word High School in Houston, Texas, the University of Texas at Austin, and Sam Houston State University. She was a teacher and volleyball coach in Freilsburg, Texas and several other locations. Additionally, during her life, she worked in a variety of positions with different State Offices in Austin, Texas. She was also a draftsman during her working career. She resided in Odessa, Texas a portion of her life, and during that time was very involved in political campaigns to support the candidate of her choice. She volunteered in many activities with the Catholic Church where ever she lived, as her family had many members who were in the priesthood. Her uncle established and founded one of the first Catholic Churches in Grimes County in 1892, St. Mary's Catholic Church in Plantersville. She was preceded in death by her husband, Sardis A Robinson, and her seven siblings. She is survived by her daughter and husband, Loyce and Dr. Daniel Holt of Brenham, Texas, granddaughter, Lauren Holt of Spring, Texas, and grandson, Brandon Holt and wife, Michele Holt, great granddaughters Ayriel and Arianna Holt all of LaPorte, Texas. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews. She will be missed by everyone very much, as she managed to be the oldest remaining sibling of her family. There will be a visitation on Tuesday, November 29, 2011 from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Mission Park Funeral Chapels North with a Rosary at 7:00 PM. There will be a funeral service at Holy Spirit Catholic Church, 8134 Blanco Rd., San Antonio, Texas 78216 at 10:00 AM on Wednesday, November 30, 2011.
