Marden Herbert Robinette was born to the late Elmer Isaac Robinette, Sr. and Wilmyrth Layton Robinette in Appalachia, Wise County, Virginia. The youngest of five children, Marden was predeceased in death by his three brothers, Elmer Isaac, Jr., Byron, and Dean, and a sister, Martelle Robinette Pope, as well as his grandsons Clint Lonkey and Scott Lonkey. He is survived by his wife Norma of 65 years and his many descendants in addition to many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
Marden moved to Citrus Heights from Los Angeles just before junior high school whereupon he attended Sylvan Junior High and graduated from San Juan High School where he met Norma. He worked for the Southern Pacific Railroad both in Truckee and Roseville, and then he was an owner-operator of his own semi until retirement.
After retiring, he volunteered as a Range Master for the Lincoln Rifle Club and as a semi driver for Senior Gleaners. Marden enjoyed horseback riding, small gas engines, bluegrass, and competitive shooting. He was also a mine and train enthusiast.
The family would like to thank the staff of Kaiser Roseville Hospital for the care and compassion given in caring for Marden especially Station 1 North. Arrangements are private, and no services are planned.
