Rosemary “Rosie” Robertson

1934-2020

We announce with heavy hearts the passing of Rosie on the early morning of Aug. 11, 2020. However, there is peace knowing she found solace in The Lord’s arms while in the care and comfort of her home, at the age of 85.

Our dearest Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt and Friend had many substantial foundations and achievements that helped shape her into the spirited woman we know and love.

Rosemary was born on Nov. 30, 1934 to Joseph and Clara Mages, in Ford County, Kansas. She grew up in Spearville, Kansas with 3 brothers and 3 sisters.

She met her first husband Phillip Lenz in 1949.  They were married Aug. 4, 1953 and in their love they created two children, Jeanne and Tom. Phil died tragically in 1956.

She met Roy Evans in 1958 and married the same year on Dec. 28th. They created 5 more sons, Rick, Mark, Greg, Randy and Steve, and spent 27 wonderful years together until his untimely death in 1986. They had settled in Bountiful, Utah in 1966, where she became a staple to the community and Saint Olaf Catholic Church.

She married William Robertson on Oct. 7, 1989.  They blended families adding 8 more children.

Rosie was accepting of anyone in her home.  Her door was always open and she often hosted large holidays for her family and friends, filling her walls with the roars of laughter and love. She enjoyed traveling and nature.  She and Bill spent time in Arizona every winter, basking in the change of scenery. She had an immense love for God and continuously taught those around her the importance of strength, passion, and faith.

She had been a key member of Saint Olaf Catholic Church. In 2013 she received The Madeleine Award in response to the valuable role she played with her dedicated service.
