Dina Riley Robertson, 55, died peacefully at home on February 14, 2023, surrounded by loved ones.
Dina was born in Wilmington DE on May 2, 1967. She attended St. Marks High School and the University of Delaware. She has worked at MBNA and Bank of America since graduation from college.
Dina was truly a spirit filled with love, energy and a passion to enjoy life to its fullest. She could throw gatherings together in a heartbeat and her kitchen was often filled with family and friends. She was a phenomenal cook and always made sure to prepare her guests favorite dishes when they came to visit. She never let a Christmas pass without sending her brothers a package of "Aunt Dina's" oatmeal cookies. This was just one small way of many that she showed her love to others. We are grateful for the time, laughter, and love we've shared with Dina. Her bright light and big heart left us too soon, but we will remember her warmth and love forever.
She is survived by her husband, Larry Robertson, her daughter Riley Robertson, Stepson Kyle Robertson, Step daughter Emma Robertson, father Robert Riley and brothers Robert Riley (Elke) and Greg Riley (Jennifer).
Services will be held at St. Mary of the Assumption Roman Catholic Church in Hockessin, Delaware on Tuesday, February 21st. 10am-12pm Visitation, with the Mass following at 12:00pm.
In lieu of flowers, Dina has requested donations be made to the American Cancer Society.
