Roberta Jean Robertson's Obituary
Roberta Jean Robertson, passed away on August 14, 2025, at the age of 75. Born on October 7, 1949, to the late Harry and Bernice Smith, Roberta lived a life rooted in kindness, strength, and unwavering dedication to others.
Roberta was the cherished wife of Lawrence “Larry” Robertson, with whom she shared a lifetime of love and partnership. She was a devoted mother to Kevin (Kimberly), Craig, Paul (Laurel), and Timothy Robertson, and a proud grandmother to Darian Robertson, each of whom carries forward her legacy of compassion and resilience.
She was a beloved sister to Thomas, Deborah (Joseph), Mark (Karen), Jaculin, and Scott, and is preceded in death by her sister Sandra. Roberta’s family was her joy, and her warm spirit enriched the lives of those around her.
Roberta dedicated over 40 years to Fairview Hospital, where she was a respected and admired employee. Her commitment to excellence and care earned the trust and admiration of countless colleagues and patients.
A true artisan at heart, Roberta found happiness in gardening and crafting stained glass pieces, which she proudly shared at local craft shows. She cherished time spent camping in Marblehead, where she felt at peace among nature and family.
Strong-willed, yet selfless, Roberta was the kind of person who always extended a helping hand—often putting others before herself with quiet grace. Her generosity and tenacity will be remembered with love and gratitude by all who knew her.
Her memory lives on in the hearts of many, and her life remains a testament to the beauty of giving without expecting anything in return.
