Vernice Lee Robertson (nee Hatridge) passed away on February 8, 2026, at age 85, after complications from a fall with the underlying condition of Alzheimer’s disease. She was married to Kenneth L. Robertson for 63 years! He resides at the home they so lovingly built together. They had many travels together and loved spending time together. They had a true love.

They had 3 children including twin daughters Karen (Jim) Davis and Kelly (Stephen) Massman and one son Dennis (Lisa) Robertson.  She was the best Grammie for her grandchildren and loved babies. She had 5 grandchildren: Julie (Mike) Toliusis, Mitchell (Rachel) Giroir, Steven Davis, Wyatt (Phoenix) Robertson, and Leo Robertson (deceased). She had two great-grandchildren, Connor and Isabelle Toliusis and one on the way.

Vernice loved to garden, sew, do crafts and was a great cook. She made the holidays so special. Vernice and Ken traveled all over the US and a few other countries. They belonged to the local daylily club as well as an A-Liner club as they camped on much of their travels. Her family has so many great memories of her throughout her life.

There will be a memorial on March 7, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. for immediate family and a drop in from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. at Kelly and Steve Massman’s house, details to be given to those attending.
