Sarah I. "Jean" Robertson

NORTHPORT | Sarah I. “Jean” Robertson, age 84, of Northport, died September 17, 2015. Graveside services will be 2 p.m. Sunday, September 20, 2015, in Serenity Chapel Mausoleum with Rev. Bob Blackwell officiating and Sunset Funeral Home, A Dignity Memorial Provider, directing.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Edward D. “Big ED” Robertson; parents, John Thomas and Dora Caroline Moore; sister, Eva Butler (Ed) of Columbus, Miss.; brothers, Paul “Jake” Moore (Flora Mae) of Northport, Ala. and William “Bill” Moore (Barbara) of Northport, Ala.

Survivors include her daughters, Dr. Donna R. King (Judge Julian M. King) of Lincoln, Ala.; brother, Rayburn Moore (Jean) of Tuscaloosa, Ala.; and grandchildren, Julian M. King Jr. (Christine Marsh King) of Mountain Brook, Ala. and John Edward King of Notasulga, Ala.

Mrs. Robertson’s life was devoted to her family and her friends, especially her two grandsons Jr and John who she loved with all her heart.

She was a consummate politician campaigning for her husband Edward D. (Big Ed) Robertson as he served in the Alabama House of Representatives, Alabama Senate, and Mayor of Northport. Mrs. Robertson was ever present at the Alabama State Capital during her husband’s legislative terms. She was just as comfortable exchanging political views with governors, legislators, and members of congress as she was with neighbors and friends. Her commitment to her strong religious beliefs were exemplified in her life.

Limited mobility did not prevent Mrs. Robertson from reaching out every day in love and loyalty to those she loved. Mrs. Robertson was an avid fan of the Atlanta Braves- especially when winning.

In lieu of flowers the family requests that contributions be made to Hospice of West Alabama or the donor’s favorite charity.

Arrangements under the direction of Sunset Brown-Service Funeral Home, Northport, AL.
