Betty Louise Robitzsch, 81, of Pensacola, FL, passed away Saturday, July 13, 2024. She was the loving wife of the late William E. Robitzsch. They were married 45 years. Betty was born on March 25, 1943, in Atmore, Alabama to Sanders A. and Viola Weaver. She was the only girl in a family of six brothers.
For 30 years, Betty dedicated herself to the field of phlebotomy at Baptist Hospital, where she was well-known for her expertise and kind-hearted approach to her work. She was a beacon of light and laughter, known for her warm heart and tireless work ethic. Betty could be found singing while she walked (sprinted) through the halls and could soothe even the most anxious patient.
Betty was a member of Myrtle Grove Baptist Church and volunteered in their weekly Clothing Closet, which helps provide clothing to those in need. She also enjoyed going to lunch with the ladies of the “Lunch Bunch” and catching up outside of church.
Betty loved watching her Florida Gators as well as the Wake Forest Demon Deacons and cheering them on each week. She was also a faithful viewer of “The Price Is Right” and “Wheel of Fortune” with her four-legged sidekick, Benji. Betty enjoyed talking on the phone with her friends and family, reminiscing on fond memories and current events.
She is survived by her three children: Susan (Richard) Beverly of Pensacola, Shawn (Robyn) Robitzsch of Chillicothe, MO, Rebecca (Asa) Cox of Pensacola; four grandsons, two granddaughters, and one granddog. Brothers: Sanders A. Weaver, Jr., Don A. Poston, and Charles Poston, along with numerous nieces and nephews.
She is preceded in death by her brothers, Jimmy H. Poston, Don (Joe) Weaver, and George A. (Pete) Poston.
Visitation will be Monday, July 22, 2024, at 10:00 AM at Bayview Fisher-Pou Chapel. Service will follow at 11 AM with burial to follow in Bayview Memorial Park.
Pallbearers will be, Shawn Robitzsch, son; Richard Beverly, son-in-law; and grandsons, Andy, Matthew, Michael, and Alex Cox. Honorary pallbearers will be granddaughters, Lauren Laton and Parker Beverly; granddog, Rheaven Robitzsch; and son-in-law, Asa Cox.
