Vera Jean Robertson

Vera Jean Robertson went to her Heavenly eternal home on Monday, February 23, 2015 at the age of 82. She was born September 22, 1932 in Keefeton, Oklahoma to Lee and Jimmie Smith Fuller. Vera grew up in Muskogee where she attended school at Whittier Elementary, middle school at Alice Roberston and graduated in 1950 from Central High School. She then went on to Draughns Business College. Her first job was secretary work with Wilson Company in Oklahoma City. After moving back to Muskogee, she worked at Taft until May 1967 and then to Parkview School for 30 years doing secretarial work and loving the children. She met and later married her best friend, Donald Gene Robertson on August 2, 1974 in Muskogee. They celebrated more than 40 years of life and marriage together. One of Vera Jean’s passions was to keep her school friends up to date with each other by sending out newsletters and after 15 years was instrumental in arranging class reunions. She did this every five years. Vera Jean and Don were well known for their beautiful roses they grew in their backyard that they shared with their neighborhood friends, church friends, and family. They won over 500 ribbons in flower contests. Vera was baptized into Christ at age 10 at the old Central Church by J.A. Nutt. She was a longtime member of Muskogee Church of Christ and was known as their first “doughnut lady.” She was preceded in death by her parents, Lee and Jimmie Smith Fuller; and sisters, Virginia Lee Fuller and Mary Ella Flores. Vera is survived by her husband Donald Gene Robertson of Muskogee; sons, Dustin and Jennifer Robertson of West Jordan, Utah; Ron and Kristie Robertson of Muskogee; Rick Matson of Muskogee; Billy and Patsie Matson of Muskogee; and 12 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren; and other family members and friends.
