Jennifer Robertson Obituary
Jennifer was born on January 6, 1979 to Jimmy and Cathy Robertson in Lexington, Kentucky. She moved to Louisville in 1989 when her father accepted the job as Manager of the Rock Creek Riding Club. Jennifer graduated from Louisville Christian Academy in 1997 and Sullivan University's Culinary Institute.
Jennifer is survived by her daughter Lila Isabelle Woods and Lila's father Billy Woods, Jennifer's father Jimmy Robertson and wife Helen Robertson, sister Chrissy Workman (George), nephew Michael and nieces Kaitlyn, Haillie and Avery Workman, aunt and uncle Walt and Corky Robertson, cousins Walt Robertson, Jr. (Mandy) and Ann Mary Belek (Kyle) and many other friends and family. Jennifer was a lifelong lover of American Saddlebred horses and Standardbred Road Horses, including her beloved road horse Rum's Last Shot a/k/a Larry, with whom she won the 2010 Kentucky County Fair Roadster to Bike World Championship. Recently, she took great joy sharing her love of horses with her daughter Lila and her treasured pony Skunk.
Jennifer never met anyone she could not immediately disarm with her quick wit and sense of humor. She lit up every room she walked into and her personality, passion for life and joy of laughter was loved by everyone she encountered and will be deeply missed.
Visitation will be held at Shannon Funeral Home in Shelbyville on Thursday, October 31 from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM and on Friday, November 1 from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Services will be held at Shannon Funeral Home on Friday, November 1 at 12:00 PM.

Please accept my deepest sympathy on Jennifer's passing. I have so many beautiful memories of Jennifer and Chrissy growing up when they spent time with mom and dad. They were the grandchildren they never got to have. I also have been thinking about the playhouse George built for them. I don't know who enjoyed the play house more, him building it or them playing in it. I will treasure those memories as I know you will. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I love you, Marti
