Kathleen M. Robertson 1950-2024

Kathy was born Oct. 24, 1950, in Youngstown, the daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Homan Neuder.

She was a 1968 graduate of Liberty High School and later graduated in 1972 with a bachelor’s degree in sociology from Ohio University.

Kathy worked as a department manager in Strouss department store. She later worked as a teacher assistant at First Presbyterian Preschool in Hubbard for many years. Her favorite and most fulfilling roles were being a wife and a mom to her two children, and then a grandma to her two grandchildren. Kathy embraced being a mom. She enjoyed being a room mom when her children were in elementary school, a volunteer youth soccer coach to her children’s teams and a troop leader for the Girl Scouts. She also played volleyball in an adult league. Kathy loved animals and had many fur babies over the years. She later liked to feed the birds and squirrels that visited the yard. Kathy was so creative and talented. From homemade Halloween costumes to her homemade birthday cakes, Kathy made her children’s upbringing special and memorable in many ways.

She was a member of Churchill United Methodist Church.

Robertson, whom she married July 10, 1976; her son, Scott Robertson of Hubbard; her daughter, Renee (Ruben) Reyes of Fayetteville, North Carolina; and her grandson, Cole Reyes and granddaughter, Carly Reyes, both of Fayetteville, North Carolina. She also leaves her brother, Tom (Linda) Neuder of Pensacola, Florida.
