Biography

Born Jane Dickison on June 26, 1919, she is the daughter of Clarence Anson Dickison (July 28, 1878—February 8, 1965), a school teacher, who in 1924 became Compton's first mayor and the former Meda Kelso (October 2, 1885—July 31, 1962). Both of her parents are natives of the state of Missouri. She met her future husband, Compton Police Officer Robert Robbins on a blind date. They married just three days later. The union produced two daughters, Paula Mae and Robyn Jane.

In 1976, when Compton City Councilman Hillard Hamm was convicted of extortion, Robbins, an elementary school principal, won a special election to fill his seat. She served until 1995, giving her the distinction of having the longest tenure of service on the Compton City Council.
