Patricia Ann 'Pat' Robertson, 77

Patricia Ann “Pat” (Johnson) Robertson passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, on Sunday evening, May 5, 2024, in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

Pat was born in Madison, Wis., on Feb. 25, 1947, to Lester and Beverley (Lovett) Johnson, their only daughter, and had a younger brother, Richard. She grew up in the Merrimac area of Wisconsin and graduated from Sauk Prairie High School in 1965. After graduation, she moved to the Seattle, Wash., area, where she met and married the love of her life, Dennis (Robbie) Robertson, on Feb. 10, 1968. They went on a grand adventure in their lifetime together, chasing their dreams and having three children along the way: Jack (René) Robertson, Bonnie (Jared) Geray and Tricia (Bill) Swann. They eventually settled on a beautiful piece of property north of Hayden in Idaho, where they spent the rest of their years together.

Pat loved Jesus first, her husband, Dennis, with all her heart and her family more than anything else in the world; the visits were never often or long enough. She loved collecting recipes and planning and making meals for her family; it was her greatest joy. She made many trips back to Wisconsin to visit her family and high school friends, whom she loved deeply. She loved being a homemaker while raising her children, and after she retired from many years working at Coldwater Creek in Coeur d’Alene, she loved gardening and enjoyed quilting and lovingly made special quilts for her 11 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, whom she loved very much.

She will be greatly missed by her family and friends and by so many who loved her so much and whose lives she touched in so many ways without even knowing it.  

A memorial service to celebrate Pat’s life will be held Saturday, June 1, 2024, at 2 p.m. at Calvary Chapel Lighthouse, 650 W. Lancaster Road, Hayden, ID 83835.
