Judy Arlene Robertson

Judith “Judy” Arlene Robertson, daughter of the late Claude and Pearl (Casebeer) Massey, was born December 28, 1940, in Huggins, Missouri, and departed this life May 23, 2018, at Mercy Hospital in Springfield, Missouri. She was 77 years, 4 months, and 26 days of age.

Judy was raised in the Huggins community and graduated from Houston High School in 1958. She married Joe Robertson, her best friend for life, on September 18, 1959, in Huggins, Missouri. Four children were born to this union. Except for a short time while Joe traveled for his military service, Joe and Judy made their home in the Mountain Grove community.

Judy worked in banking most of her life. In her spare time, she enjoyed reading and sewing, especially making blankets. One of her favorite things was to spend time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a long time member of the First Free Will Baptist Church in Mountain Grove. Judy was saved and baptized as a young girl. Judy’s church family was very important to her. She was truly a servant for her church and her Lord.

Whenever there was a need, Judy was ready to help fill it.
