Margaret Elizabeth Robertson

She was born April 4, 1922 in Cedartown, GA to William Heartsell Bagley and Lillian Ozell Thomas Bagley, who predeceased her. Three brothers, Troy, Denman and Rene Bagley, and two sisters, Jane Burns and Patricia Bagley, also preceded her in death.

Survivors include her only child, Cassandra Robertson Newby of Land O’ Lakes FL, two grandchildren, JJ Ketzle of Chantilly, VA, and Shannon Barker, Land O’ Lakes; four great-grandchildren, Austin and Anastasia Barker and Alexander and Lorelei Ketzle, nephews, James M. Burns, Jr., Dacula, and William Bagley, AL; grandsons-in-law Jeffrey Ketzle and David Barker, and her beloved dog, Hannah.

Mrs. Robertson was a lifelong member of Second Avenue Methodist Church and a joyful participant in the Helping Hands crochet group at the church. A member of the Greatest Generation, Mrs. Robertson served her country as a secretary at Battey Military Hospital during World War II, often greeting wounded soldiers at the trains. She was a founding member of the East Rome Neighborhood Association, devoted to preserving Rome’s architectural history. Her career was spent in medical sales.

A loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother, she will be missed by her family, her fellow church members and her neighbors. Her memory is preserved not only in our hearts but also in the exquisite needlework she leaves behind.
