She was born in Gloversville on February 12, 1922, the daughter of Gavino and Lena Pichizola.  She attended Johnstown schools and married Gerald Robinson in 1942.  Following his death in 1959, Jennie worked for Conroy Gloves for several years while raising a family.  She later worked for General Electric in Schenectady before retiring.
