Dolores A Robertson

Dolores A. Robertson, 94, of Lexington, Nebraska, passed away on Thursday, September 5, 2024, at Meadowlark Pointe in Cozad, Nebraska.

She was born on June 1, 1930, in Oxford, Nebraska, to Louis and Emma (Hoehner) Knipschild. She attended a one room country school called Hard Scrabble before attending public school in Oxford and graduated from Oxford High School with the class of 1947. In September of 1947, Dolores was united in marriage to Neil Huffman and made their home in Oxford. Three children were blessed to this union: Linda, Nancy and Dale. The marriage would later end in divorce. After her divorce, Dolores moved to Holdrege where she met Norman Robertson. The couple were united in marriage and made their home in Lexington in 1979.

Dolores was a hardworking woman, working during her high school days, waiting tables and cooking, where her talent as an excellent cook blossomed. She later transitioned into roles at a local hospital, school, nursing home, as well as a police dispatcher in Holdrege, all of which reflected her unwavering commitment to caring for those around her.

Away from her dedicated work, Dolores found joy in several hobbies. Dolores enjoyed the challenge of crossword puzzles and loved to go to the casinos and gamble. She was also an enthusiastic viewer of her favorite soap operas. Dolores loved to bowl and was a proud participant in a bowling league, where she formed friendships and shared great moments with her friends. She was a faithful member of the Eagles Club Women's Auxiliary, where she held every position.

Those left to cherish her memory are her children, Dale Huffman of Lexington, Linda Radtke of Omaha, and Nancy Wolzen of Beatrice; six grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and 14 great-great-grandchildren; sisters, Arlene Dreher of Gretna, Ardella (Clinton) Olmstead of Arapahoe, Donna Peitzmeier of Lyons, and Maxine Burke of Gretna, as well as extended family and friends.

Besides her parents, Dolores was preceded in death by her husband, Norman Robertson, sister Joyce, and brothers-in-law, Vernon Dreher, Jim Peitzmeier, and Gerald Burke.
