Lynn Robertson Obituary

ROUNDUP - Lynn "Bud" Robertson, 81, passed away Oct. 19, 2007, at Roundup Memorial Healthcare.

Bud was born on Dec. 4, 1925, to David and Estella (Bayne) Robertson in Fordville, N.D. He grew up in Fordville, helping his dad, farming and driving truck.

Bud enlisted in the Navy on Oct. 22, 1943, and served on numerous communication ships in the South Pacific under Adm. Strubel as a Radioman, 3rd class. He was honorably discharged March 26, 1946.

He married Ardis Thoe on June 6, 1948. They had four children. The family moved to Roundup in September of 1962. He was a parts man at Musselshell Valley Equipment until he retired in 1987.

Bud loved to hunt, fish and camp. Most family vacations involved a camping trip around the western U.S. Bud always planted a large garden. His family and friends were the recipients of his abundant garden. Bud was a fan and longtime owner of International Scouts. In later years, he enjoyed taking a ride to look for wildlife and breathing the fresh air. This past Christmas, his grandson and friend took him for "one last ride" in his old scout that they had refurbished.

He was preceded in death by his parents and brothers, Darrel and Lloyd Robertson.

Bud is survived by his wife, Ardy; his four children, Conrad (Nancy) Robertson, Jerry (Christie) Robertson, Elaine (Laury) Sealey, Cindy (Frank) Donnes; 10 grandchildren, Carson (Angie) Robertson, Ty Robertson, Amber Robertson, Amanda Robertson, Jill Arthurs, Landon (Bianca) Sealey, Jeff (Katie) Sealey, Darren (Jennell) Donnes, Jamie Donnes and Lisa Donnes. He is also survived by two great-grandsons, Briyer Robertson and Alex Frankie Donnes, who made his eyes light up. Other survivors include his brother, Lee (Betty) Robertson; sister-in-law Doranna Robertson; and many, many nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, Oct. 27, 11 a.m., at Zion Lutheran Church in Roundup. A graveside service will be held Tuesday, Oct. 30, 11 a.m. at the Oak Grove Cemetery in Fordville.

In lieu of flowers, a memorial may be made to the Roundup Memorial Healthcare ECU, Zion Lutheran Church or a charity of your choice.
