Mrs. Robertson had a beautiful singing voice, loved life, could easily laugh at herself, and had many entertaining stories about her summers at McCullom Lake in McHenry, IL with her brothers and many cousins. She loved the homemade wine her Swedish uncles made at the lake. In her lifetime, Mrs. Robertson worked at the Chesterton Tribune and the Pulaski County Journal as well as at Farm Bureau Insurance and Goble Insurance Agency. She was a member of the Winamac Presbyterian Church and was a former member of the OES Tippecanoe Chapter #96. During the last three-and-a-half years of her life she lived at Hickory Creek in Winamac, where the staff was extraordinarily kind and caring. Words cannot express the gratitude of the family. Mrs. Robertson loved her family very much and will be dearly missed.

As per Mrs. Robertson’s request, there will be no services and final disposition will be private.

Memorials may be given to the Winamac Presbyterian Church.
