Evelyn May Robertson

ROBERTSON, Evelyn M., was born on September 14, 1921 in Jersey City, N. J. on February 18, 2012, at the age of 90. She joined her husband, Edgar T. Robertson in Heaven; as well as her mother, Evelyn M. Cartwright; her father, Scott S. Cheesman; her brother, Scott Cheesman; and her grandson, Jeffrey S. Robertson. It is a comfort to know they are now receiving her smiles as we have for so many years.

While married to Edgar, Evelyn was an avid golfer and member at Meadowbrook Country Club. She enjoyed volunteering at Johnston Willis Hospital for 10 years. Evelyn loved lunching with her Red Hatters and made many friends. She was a member of the Lifelong Learning Institute in Midlothian, Va., where she took craft classes, lectures and played cards with her friends almost every day. We are so very grateful to LLI for giving her so many interesting things to do, and filling her life with friends beyond compare.

We thank the people of the Laurels of Bon Air and Hospice for treating Evelyn with such respect and care. We also thank her good friend, Father Paul Kalamaras, for his longtime friendship and love. Evelyn will be missed so very much by not only her friends, but also her family, her daughter, Sherril R. Jarrell (Garry L. Jarrell); her son, Gary S. Robertson (Linda M.D. Robertson); her granddaughters, April Swineford (Lincoln Swineford), Rebecca Music (Paul Music); and great-granddaughters, Emma Swineford, Margaret Swineford, Katherine Swineford, Hailey Music and Allison Music. Please join us at the Huguenot Chapel, Woody Funeral Home, 1020 Huguenot Rd., Midlothian, Va. for a celebration of Evelyn's life from 4 to 6 p.m. Tuesday, February 21, 2012. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society . Condolences may be offered at woodyfuneralhomehuguenot.com.
