Dear "Skippy", "Corky" and all others of "Maggie's" family. She and
Gordon, Sr., were close friends of my husband, Jim, and me many
years ago on Carl St. in San Francisco - in the newly-married years
of both couples. We had some really fun times together! I'm glad
Maggie had such a long and full (I'm sure) life and I know she will
be missed by all who knew and loved her. My son, Scott, and I
send along heartfelt condolences to you all - she was a truly good
person and set a fine example.
Love, Helynn Hilke

To the family of Mrs. Robertson: my deepest sympathies on the passing of such a dear person. I first met her when I worked at "Abbes nearly new" with her daughter Margaret. She was very kind to us in the store. I also would see her at mass, and she always offered a smile and a kind word . Later on when I applied to dental schools she was very helpful. I will never forget her kindness and advice which made my transition smooth to the San Francisco dental school after a semester at a Midwest dental school where I was very homesick, and cold due to -10 degree weather. I am glad that God blessed her with a long life and a loving family. I was out of the country during the holidays so had not heard about her passing. You are all in my prayers . In sympathy , Maria

Mrs. Robertson was kind and wonderful to the girls at Star of the Sea. She always made you feel like she had your back. Others mentioned her smile and for sure, that is what I remember. Condolences to her family. Rest in peace.

At Star of the Sea I nicknamed Margarita "pearl" for she was a precious gift for faculty and students alike. As I emailed Cris yesterday, "We have a special friend in heaven."
Peace and all good,

Maggie was one of the nicest people I met during my 3 years at UOP Dental School. I was there from 1980-83. She gave me pep talks & good advice when I asked for it. I will always remember Maggie.

Maggie was a breath of fresh air for Pacific Dental students like me in the 70's. She could remember hundreds of faces and names and even remembered me in 2013 after almost 40 years! A wonderful lady and a friend to everybody. (Especially if Leroy Cagnone was involved!) My good thoughts are with the entire family; she was a wonderful person. Dr. Tom Bales

I'm very sorry that Maggie Robertson is not longer "with us".
For many years we had worked on different floors at the Dental School. During Her last years (and mine) in the School, however, we shared the office space on the forth floor. We had a wonderful relationship and were quite close friends. Maggie was very happy to be my "tenant"! She was one of the kind. I missed her. My heartfelt condolences go to all Family.
