Lotte Mae Robertson

On Wednesday, May 4, 2011, God sent his angels to claim his child, LOTTIE MAE (BLOUNT) ROBERTSON, daughter of the late James and Merdis (High) Blount. Lottie was loving and giving, constantly putting the needs of others before her own. Her soft voice and pleasant demeanor warmed the hearts of those she encountered. Lottie loved nature and spent many days working in her beautiful garden. While spending time in her garden was her most treasured pastime. She also was a sports fan. She loved the Baltimore Ravens and the Maryland Terps. On game days she proudly wore her team jerseys and often put signs and balloons in her front yard. She often called her fellow family and friends to discuss sports highlights- even during the games! She loved her community and was active board member of the Glen Neighborhood Improvement Association. She was a long-term member of Gospel Tabernacle Baptist Church, where she served on the Gospel Choir. Lottie received her early education in Seaboard, North Carolina. Her family relocated to Maryland in 1956. Lottie attended Frederick Douglass High School and later attended Coppin State College and graduated with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Education. For thirty-five years, Lottie was a devoted and dedicated teacher with the Baltimore City Public School System. She believed that teaching was rewarding and loved running into former students. In her retirement speech she proclaimed her goal for all of her students was to “prepare them well and they’ll make you proud.” In her retirement she looked forward to going out monthly with her lunch groups. On April 11, 1967, Lottie was united in Holy Matrimony to William Marshall Robertson. From this union one child was born, Kelly (Robertson) Lane. Lottie was a devoted wife and mother. Lottie will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Left to cherish her memory is: her beloved husband, William Marshall Robertson; her daughter, Kelly Robertson-Lane; a son-in-law, Tommy Lane; her children, Douglas (Sandra), Gail and Paul Robertson; two brothers, Willie (Janet) and Kenneth Blount; and cousin, Louise Stafford; a host of other family members and friends.
