Beatrice Nadine Wood

Beatrice Nadine Wood, affectionately known as, Robin/Bea, was born on March 21, 1967, in Chester, Pennsylvania to the late Sharylean Wood and Robert Edward Wood, Jr. Robin departed this life and entered eternal peace on July 29, 2024, at home surrounded by her loving family. As a young child, Robin accepted Jesus Christ as her savior. She was baptized at an early age at Greater St. John’s Baptist Church in Wilmington, Delaware. Educated in the Chester Upland School District, Robin was a graduate of the Chester High School Class of 1985. Robin worked for the Chester Housing Authority for 8 years as a Section 8 Coordinator before moving to Amerihealth Caritas as a System Analysis Tester until her passing. Robin has always shown great care and concern for others. She loved people wanting the best for everyone. Her door was always open to any family member in need. The beauty of God’s creation, nature, was something that brought Robin immense joy. She took intense pleasure and enjoyed God’s amazing wonders, sunrises, sunsets, and animals. She became a traveler. Robin’s favorite pastime was spending time with Michael. They shared many nights of dining, staying up late nights watching movies, telling jokes, and laughing. Robin, a natural nurturer, was very mild mannered, meek, and hardly ever said a word. She was one of the younger siblings, but you would not have known it. She was motherly to her siblings, which was extended to her nieces and nephews; with many of them looking to her as a second mother. For Robin, her best and greatest accomplishment, she felt was raising a devoted son Michael, whom she adored and whom she affectionately called “Boo.” Despite her illness, Robin still saw beauty. A robin symbolizes good luck, happiness, renewal, and rebirth. Whenever you see one, know her love and light shines on. Robin leaves to cherish her memory; her son, Michael Robertson of Chester, her father Robert Edward Wood, Jr. (Anna): three sisters, Annette Brown, New Castle, Delaware, Jacqueline Church (Lamont) and Tamika Sumpter (Nate) both from Chester, Pennsylvania: two brothers; Robert Wood, III and Maurice Watts, both of Chester, Pennsylvania; four aunts: Louise Townsend (David); Esther Lites (Jesse), Queenella Gossett (George), and Catharine Hudson; and three uncles, Carl (Monique), David Wood (Audry), Bennet Wood and her Sister/best friend/Cousin Michelle Ensley, and a host of cousins, nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her mother, Sharylean Wood and Grandparents: Samuel and Beatrice Barbour, and Robert and Catherine Wood.
