Ellen Ruth Robertson

Ellen is reunited with her beloved husband James “Jim” Robertson (d. 2019); they were inseparable for their 60 years together. Ellen was also predeceased by her brothers Tom and Bob Gapp and her sister Kay Bath and is survived by her brother, Don Gapp. Jim and Ellen were introduced to each other by her brother-in-law George Bath in the spring of 1959 and what followed was a lifetime of love and laughter. They loved each other and their family: their daughters Karen and Val, son-in-law Bill, and their five beautiful grandchildren, Brian, Megan, Alyssa (Dan), Matthew and Noah.

Ellen was devoted to and proud of her family and took great pleasure in spending time together. She enjoyed knitting, reading, needlepoint and gardening, and donated many of her knitted baby blankets and hats to the children’s hospital and those in need.

The family wishes to thank the staff of Fairview Mennonite Home for their compassionate care. In accordance with her wishes, a private family burial will be held December 22nd at New Hope Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to the T. Little Funeral Home (519) 623-1290.

As expressions of sympathy, donations to the McMaster Research Institute for Aging or the Sick Kids Foundation would be appreciated by her family.
