Robertina Ann Davis, 81, of Fulton, Missouri, passed away peacefully on August 27, 2025, at the University of Missouri Hospital, surrounded by her loving family.

She was born on January 1, 1944, in Fulton, Missouri, to the late Maurice and Maurine (Henderson) Wilson. Robertina grew up in Fulton and always carried the values of her hometown with her. After high school, she moved to Kansas City and later spent some time in Oklahoma but eventually found her way back to Fulton - the place that always felt like home.

Robertina had a deep love for her family and found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She was known for her delicious, hearty family meals, where everyone felt welcomed and full by the end. She loved playing cards, listening to music of all genres, and especially cherished any time spent with her loved ones.

A proud and fiery spirit, Robertina was sassy, outspoken, and unapologetically herself. She said what she meant and meant what she said - always with honesty and heart.

She was a devoted member of Second Christian Church in Fulton, where her presence and faith were a source of strength and comfort to those who knew her.

Robertina's memory will live on in the hearts of her family, friends, and all who were lucky enough to know her. Those that remain to cherish her memory are her, daughter, Yvonne Simmons (Larry Hatton), Joyce Flowers, Karen Fisher; God daughter, Barbara Fisher; daughter in law, Cheryl Wilson; son in law, Greg Crater; brother, William Tony; sister, Marnice Johnson; special lifelong friends, Betty Black and Joyce Ann Ray, along with 10 grandchildren, two great grandchildren, and a host of nieces and nephews.

Along with her parents, Robertina was preceded in death by her son, Robert Wilson.

Memorial services will be held at Maupin Funeral Home on Wednesday, September 24, 2025 at 12:30 pm. The family will receive friends from 12:00 pm until the time of the service at the funeral home.
