Our sweet mom, Mrs. Ella Marie Holder Robertson, 91, of Fork Bixby Road, Advance, died Friday, Dec. 13, 2024 at her home.
She was a loving mom who always wanted the best for her family. She was born on May 16, 1933 in Forsyth County to the late Charlie Thomas and Ella Beulah Holder of Lewisville.
She retired from Shady Grove Elementary School as a cafeteria worker, making yeast rolls that friends still talk about. She loved listening to gospel music and enjoyed The Craft Brothers singings. She was a great seamstress, cook, and enjoyed working in her flowers. When asked her favorite flower, she’d reply, “all of them”. Growing up, she attended Concord Methodist Church in Lewisville and after moving to Advance, she attended Bailey’s Chapel Methodist Church, where she made many memories.
Dear ones that she truly loved that have gone on before her, in addition to her parents, include: her husband, Paul W. Robertson; siblings, Jody, Hobart, and Virginia; niece, Martha Robertson; grandson, Nathan Robertson; sisters-in-law, Lorine, Georgie, and Frances; special friend, Maxine Hendrix; and caregiver, Eva Payne.
Survivors include: 4 children, Keith Robertson (Dora) of Mocksville, Cecil Robertson of Advance, Leon Robertson (Joy) of Alabama, and Pamela Jones (Rick) of Sylva; 9 grandchildren; and 12 great-grandchildren.
Faithful through the years has been her dear friend, Elaine Smith, that made daily calls to her; Betty Myers, a childhood friend; and Gary Riley for always remembering mom on special days. We were also blessed with wonderful caregivers that made it possible for mom to stay home, June, Maudie, Thara, Tara, Shiloh, Robin, Tresia, Faith, Eva, Tosha, Brenda, Mona, and Susan. Special thanks to Well Care Hospice for comforting our mom and Steve Whitaker for caring for mom’s lawn.
A funeral service will be conducted at 12 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 18 at Eaton Funeral Chapel with Rev. Eddie Evans officiating. Interment will follow in Advance United Methodist Church Cemetery. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service, at the funeral home.
