She received her education in Virden, attended Brandon College and graduated from The Manitoba Normal School. Miss Robertson taught in McAuley, Carberry, Dauphin and Flin Flon. She was a pioneer special education teacher and she belonged to the Association for Children with Learning Disabilities and other professional organizations. Miss Robertson was a member of the Business and Professional Womens Club and served as provincial president. She served as a Girl Guide leader for many years and more recently she served as a volunteer at Agape and Meals on Wheels. She enjoyed travel, bowling, curling, golf and duplicate bridge.

She will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her brother J. Allan Robertson and his wife Ruth of Winnipeg; six nieces and two nephews; seventeen grand-nieces and nephews and six great-grand-nieces and nephews.
