Meet Catherine Robertson, Resident of the Month
Catherine Robertson was born on July
3, 1927 in Springfield, Mo., to Joseph and
Blanche Dunn. Catherine has two brothers;
Paul, who is two years older and David, who
is 16 years younger. “I have always been
very close with my brothers,” says Catherine.
“To David, I often acted like a second
mother. And I speak to Paul and his wife often.” Some of Catherine’s favorite childhood
memories were going with her father to the
movie theater. They loved watching western
movies together.
Catherine’s , 18, love for the movies
would eventually lead her to meet Thomas
Robertson, 32, at the movie theater. At the
time, Thomas had been serving in the Army
when they met, but was being treated at the Army Hospital. After a few months
of dating, the couple were married just on Aug. 5, 1945, in a small, outdoor
ceremony.
The couple have been blessed with two daughters; Bonnie of Pleasant
Hope, and Mary of Morrisville, two grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
The family lived on a 2 acre farm in Strafford that had pygmy goats, pot-belly
pigs and calves. Catherine shared that she loved working with the animals and
raising their girls.
Throughout her life, Catherine has always enjoyed taking care of animals
and gardening. Her yard was always full of flowers and she grew lots of vegetables. According to Catherine, Romeo, her dog of 15 years was always the “love of
her life.” Her children would joke and say that “she treated Romeo better than
them.”
Catherine is happy to call Parkview Healthcare Facility her home. She
said that the aides are brilliant and everyone here is so sweet. She enjoys the
kindness and closeness of the people, and that it really feels like a family here.
She also enjoys Kay, her roommate and close friend. Congratulations, Catherine
on being chosen as the Parkview Healthcare Facility’s Resident of the Month for
April!
