Dr. Noreen Zenita Johnson passed away on Saturday, August 28, 2021 in Bryan, Texas at the age of sixty nine. She was the last born of six children to Mr. Fitzroy and Mrs. Irene Johnson, both deceased, of San Fernando, Trinidad, West Indies.

With a meticulous mind and an affinity for science, Noreen graduated with both a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and a Doctor of Medicine from Howard University in Washington, D.C. She completed her residency training in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Martin Luther King, Jr. Hospital/Charles R. Drew Medical School in Los Angeles, California. While there, she fell in love with fellow resident in Family Medicine, Dr. Haywood J. Robinson.

After residency, the newlyweds moved to Bryan/College Station, Texas to begin a thirty eight year journey in their joint private practice, Brazos Medical Associates. Noreen's compassionate heart for humanity led her to undertake medical missions in China and Nigeria. At the beckoning of her mother in Trinidad, Noreen launched Touch Tobago Missions, a twelve year medical outreach servicing underserved communities around the island. Determined to provide the best possible care for her patients, she was a pioneer bringing laparoscopic surgery to Tobago and the first physician to perform robotic surgery in College Station, Texas.

Dr. Johnson lived her life in service to Jesus. She was anchored by her favorite verse in the Bible, 2 Timothy 1:7. For God had not given her the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

She is survived by her husband, Dr. Haywood Robinson, their four daughters, Dr. Kaishauna Robinson Guidry, Udelle Robinson, Dr. Riva Robinson, and Dr. Virginia Smith, three older brothers, Frank Johnson, Rawle Johnson, and Dr. Glen Royce Johnson, and one sister, Arlene Thomas. She was preceded in death by her brother Carl Johnson.

Services will take place on Saturday, September 11, 2021 at Aldersgate United Methodist Church (2201 Earl Rudder Freeway South, College Station, Texas 77845).

Visitation begins at 10:30am with memorial to follow at 12PM.
