BANGOR – If you travel along State Street, you’ve probably seen her flowers.

Regardless of the season, the glass doorway of Martha Estelle Robinson’s stately white home with yellow awnings across from Eastern Maine Medical Center always featured a fresh floral display.

And, in her tradition for community service, Robinson, who died Thursday at age 94, put the flowers there not for herself, but for others in the city.

“She did it to please the patients,” said Maryann Flewelling, who works at Lougee & Frederick’s, a neighborhood florist, and was a friend of Robinson, whom she first met growing up on nearby Howard Street. “She will be missed by a lot of people.”

One of those people will certainly be Sister Mary Norberta, the CEO of St. Joseph Hospital, where Robinson had served on the hospital’s auxiliary board for many years.

“Estelle was a strong personality and very committed,” Norberta said Friday. “She gave her word, and she always came through.”

Among her many contributions to the community, Robinson started St. Joseph Hospital’s Memorial Book Fund, which has raised thousands of dollars for new equipment at the Broadway health care facility.

Robinson and her husband, Harold, who died in 1991, owned Robinson-Kenney Oil Co.

She was also active in church affairs, serving with her husband as honorary chairman of a fund drive for the restoration of St. John’s Catholic Church, where the couple had worshipped since 1941.

Robinson served on many other boards before her death. Among her volunteer work, she served as president of the Bangor district of the Maine Diocesan Council of Catholic Women, the Maine State Association of Hospital Auxiliaries, the Maine representative to the New England Council of Hospital Auxiliaries and the director of the United Bank of Bangor.

She also was a past president of the EMMC auxiliary.

A lifelong resident of Bangor, Robinson is survived by two daughters and six grandchildren.

Visiting hours will be from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday at Foley Funeral Service, 299 Union St., Bangor. The funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Monday at St. John’s Catholic Church.

Memorial contributions may be made to the St. Joseph Memorial Book Fund, care of Development Department, P.O. Box 1638, Bangor 04402-1638.
