Martha Nell Boleyn Robertson, the daughter of J.M. and Willie Opal (Bill) Mace Boleyn, was born June 30, 1954, in Selmer, TN.

Martha graduated in 1972 from Adamsville Jr./Sr. High School. She worked at Garan in Adamsville and Salant & Salant in Henderson.

In 1980, she married Don Robertson, and they made their home in Henderson. Along with her husband, she operated his family’s business, the Trading Post Grocery in Henderson, from 1990 till 1995. Later, Martha worked at Quinco Mental Health Center until her retirement. She was a member of Christ Community Church in Henderson.

She is survived by her husband; two sons, Jason of Henderson and Alan (Heather) of Lowell, Ark.; six grandchildren: Mellony, Alexandrea, Whitman, Christopher, Harrison, and Shiloh; four sisters: Winnie, Sue, Patsy, and Robbie; two brothers, Ronnie and Roger; and numerous nieces and nephews, several that she felt like they were her own.

Martha cherished the memories of love, sacrifice, and responsibility observed from her mother, the value of hard work gained in the cotton fields around Adamsville, and developed a relationship with her Lord and Saviour, led by the example of her church family in Adamsville and later in Henderson.

Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by three brothers: Jerry Mac, Garry, Benny, and Larry Neal.
