Elizabeth Lee Robertson, age 94, of Gallatin, formerly of Goodlettsville, passed away on the evening of November 12, 2022.
Elizabeth was born January 15, 1928 in Nashville, TN to the late Barney Stockman and Bonnie Della Kelley Trevathan.
Elizabeth was a humble, kind, and caring person. She worked hard, was loving and loyal to her husband Paul, and compassionate to all who were lucky enough to cross her path.
Besides her family, her life’s work was as a gifted teacher, achieving the title of assistant professor. Her last position was at Tennessee State University, where she taught until her retirement.
Church was an important part of Elizabeth’s life and she cherished the church friendships she made over the years. Elizabeth and Paul were first members of Grace Baptist Church, and for the last 40 plus years they were members of Springhill Baptist Church. Elizabeth will be missed by everyone she leaves behind.
She is survived by her husband of 71 years, David Paul Robertson, Sr: sons, David Paul Robertson, Jr (Angie), Trevis Lee Robertson (Dolores); daughter Bonnie Beth Jenkins; grandchildren, Troy Lee Robertson, Shannon Elizabeth Robertson Myers (Danny), Eric Randall Robertson, Ashley Christine Robertson, Christopher Michael Jenkins, and Rachael Elizabeth Jenkins; 6 great-grandsons, Toby, Reef, Tate, Coen, Haven, and Bair; and a great-great-grandson, Jameson.
Funeral services will be conducted at 11 am Wednesday, November 16, 2022 in the chapel of Austin & Bell Funeral Home in Greenbrier. A private family graveside service will follow with Eric Robertson, Toby Robertson, Tate Robertson, Reef Myers, Coen Myers and Haven Myers serving as pallbearers. Honorary pallbearers will be Bair Myers, Danny Myers, Christopher Jenkins and Troy Robertson.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to St. Jude, in Elizabeth’s memory. This was her favorite charity, and another way her all encompassing love can still be part of people’s lives, especially young children in need.
