Anne Watson

1941 - 2023

Anne Watson, of
Gainesville, Ga., formerly
of Martin, Ga., departed
this earth to be with her
Lord on Feb. 24, 2023.
Anne was born in Sum-
merville, S.C., on Oct. 24,
1941, to James H. and
Bertha Wilson.
Anne was mother to
Laurie, Cindy, and
Michael Robertson. She
raised her children in love
and devotion with her hus-
band, Neal Watson.
As a registered nurse,
Anne was known for her
compassionate care and
servant leadership, espe-
cially in her volunteer
work with the Open Arms
Clinic. She was dedicated
to her Christian faith,
leading many ladies Bible
studies; we are confident
that her prayers went
straight to the Lord's ear.
She learned to paint later
in life creating many last-
ing monuments to her
craft. She loved to shop
and could outlast us all on
any shopping trip. Her tal-
ents and hobbies were too
numerous to list, but she
brought warmth, a quick
wit and energy to each
one.
Anne was preceded in
death by her parents,
James H. Wilson and
Bertha Wilson; her sister,
Eleanor Smith; and niece,
Kathryn Smith.
She is survived by
daughters, Laurie Potter
(husband Terry), and
Cindy Bertin (partner
Stan Bobo); a son, Michael
Robertson (wife Anna);
grandchildren Hannah
(Harrison) Leon-Gay, Abi-
gail Potter, Maggie Potter,
Wilson Bertin, Christo-
pher Bertin, Carter
Bertin, Addison Robertson
and Zion Robertson;
nieces, Lynda Smith and
Diane Gilmore; and many,
many friends. Most impor-
tantly she is survived by
her loving husband, Neal
C. Watson, who loved her
with all his heart and soul.
A memorial will be held
at a later date in
Gainesville, Ga.
In lieu of flowers, dona-
tions can be made to the
charity of your choice.
The world is a little
dimmer for us, but heaven
has gained a shining star.
