Antha Robertson Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

On February 16, 2020, surrounded by family, Antha Dillon Robertson, 92, was welcomed into the kingdom of Heaven. Born September 19, 1927, in Marrowbone, WV, she was one of 16 children to William Riley and Wilda Dillon. Antha married Roy Robertson and they raised their family in Delbarton, WV. If Antha’s life could be summed up in a couple words, it would be, “She Served.” First, and foremost, Antha Robertson served the Lord. Her faith and devotion to God was unmistakable and evident in every day of her life. She put God first and celebrated his glory in both victories and heartaches. She was a devoted member of Delbarton Regional Church of God. Second, she served her family. It is impossible to know how many hours she spent praying for each and every member of her family. Her greatest desire was for all her family to know God and to give their life to His glory. Her grandkids can tell you stories of loading up in her car on Sunday mornings to go to church. Standing in the backseat chanting “move, car, move…go, Granny, go” she introduced them to the greatest love she knew. She served as a devoted and godly wife. Antha persistently and lovingly showed Roy the love of God throughout their marriage. Through her life, love, and prayer Antha brought Roy to also give his life to God. Because of this devotion, they are now reunited in Heaven. She also served her community. You may remember Antha as the owner of Robertson Supermarket where all the children who entered called her Mamaw. Later, she and Roy moved to Jonesborough, TN, where they opened Eastern Star Quickstop. In both of these businesses she served her neighbors and community both as a business woman and a friend. She said these endeavors both provided for her family as well as provided an opportunity to be with people and share with them the love of God. When Antha said, “I’ll pray for you,” you knew your problem was in good hands. If you want to honor Antha’s life, pray. Pray for yourself, pray for others, ask for prayer, and pursue the God Antha is rejoicing with today. She would love to see you again. Antha was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Roy, 6 siblings, and her son Billy Ray who died in infancy. She is survived by her daughter Diana (and Jerry) Maynard, her sons: Bobby (and Connie) Robertson, Roy (and Wanda) Robertson, and Donnie (and Josie) Robertson. She will be missed by her 11 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren, 3 great-great-grandchildren. Antha’s life will be celebrated at Chafin Funeral Home, Delbarton, WV, with visitation Wednesday, February 19th, 6-9pm and funeral, Thursday the 20th at 1pm, Mitchell Bias officiating. Burial will follow at Mt View Memory Gardens, Maher, WV.
