      Vetral Robins
          Former Bremerton resident Vetral Ruby (McCollum) Robins, 88, of East Wenatchee died May 17, 2002, at Highline Convalescence Center in East Wenatchee.
          She was born Feb. 28, 1914, in Wideman, Ark., to Garland and Nora (Long) McCollum. She was raised and educated in Wideman.
          She married Flavil H. Robins on April 1, 1933, in Salem, Ark. They farmed for several years in the Wideman area, then moved in 1936 to Wenatchee, where Mrs. Robins worked at various jobs related to the fruit industry.
          The Robins family lived in Bremerton from 1940 to 1966. After Mr. Robins' retirement from Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, he and his wife returned to the Wenatchee Valley and developed a fruit orchard in partnership with their children.
          Mrs. Robins was also a homemaker and had been an elementary school cook for many years. She enjoyed her Christian faith and serving her church. Other interests were sewing, quilting and visiting the sick.
           She was preceded in death by her husband in 1987. Survivors include three sons and daughters-in-law, Charles and Beverly of East Wenatchee, Jess and Bernice of Vancouver, Wash., and Jerry and Lorna of Port Orchard; her half-sister and half-brother, Mildred and Hayden Kankey of Wideman; four grandchildren, Gary, Carrie, Cathy and David; six great-grandchildren, Katie, Amanda, Cara, Clinton, Kyle and Toni; and nieces, nephews and cousins.
          A private family graveside service was held June 1 at Sunset Lane Cemetery in Port Orchard. Arrangements were under the direction of Telford's Chapel of the Valley in East Wenatchee.
          In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to a church of the donor's choice or to an Alzheimer's research program.
