Phonechia Nina Robbins-Thompson

Phonechia Nina Robbins-Thompson, 45, of Canton, departed this life, Sunday December 12, 2021.

Phonechia was born February 9, 1976 in Youngstown, the daughter of Solomon Earl Sr. and Betty Ann Wallace Robbins who I am sure she is hugging at this very moment. She was a Graduate of The Rayen School (Tigers) in 1995.

She was a member of The Church of Hope Spiritual in Youngstown, where she was in the Buds of Promise Kids Choir with her brother Rodney. She was a member for many years under the pastorate of the late Pastors Robert and Willa M. Lockett, and presently under the pastorate of Minister Paula S. Lockett-Harris. She later moved to Canton, and became a member of the Third Street Church.

Phonechia was employed at Rite Aid Pharmacy in Canton from 6/24/11 until her passing 12/12/21, where she began as a Pharmacy Technician, a Wellness Ambassador. She was a very hard worker who at times was prompted to take some time off, but of course, refused because of her work ethic passed down from her dad and mom who believed hard work pays off. Phonechia was also employed at SarahCare, an Adult Daycare in Canton. She served as the Director in charge of activities ranging from crafts to religious activities and field trips for the elderly. Along with her working career before the Pharmacy field, she was a Photographer at Picture Me Portraits in Youngstown, and later a Photographer at Walmart in Canton. She was a member of The Good News Club at the Needle’s Eye Christian Counseling Center, Youngstown Urban Minority Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Outreach Program (YUMADAOP), Willing to Serve youth group, C.I.A. (Changing Into Adulthood), Rap contests, Camps, etc.

Ingram (Bear); one daughter, Brittany Elise Carr; 3 grandchildren, Harmony, Halo, and King Asaiah Latril; 4 brothers, Richard and Solomon Jr., both of Youngstown, Kenneth (Donella) of Ashtabula, and Rodney (Keisha) of Dayton; 3 sisters, Beatrice and Sandra both of Youngstown, and Gloria Jean of Canton; and a host of nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, aunts, cousins, and friends.
