Joyce R. Robertson, 89, entered heaven on Saturday, September 5, 2020 surrounded by her loving family, at her Utica home. She was born on May 24, 1931, in Rochester NY, to Charles and Rosemarie Bildstein Evans. She was educated in Rochester schools and attended MVCC. On June 23, 1951, she married Donald M. Robertson and had 8 children. Her home was her priority and the place where all her children's friends gathered to play and eat her delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies. Later in life she worked as a Teacher's Aide at Kemble Street School in Utica. Once her children left home, Mom enjoyed traveling to visit them, cruising with friends, exciting trips around the world and casinos. Her sweet giving personality made friendships easy as she had many in both Utica and Clearwater, FL. Joyce is survived by her children, Donna Robertson, Gary (Michele) Robertson, Jill (Jim) Hillebrand, Amy Marquissee, Beth (Steve) Voce, Donald (Kate) Robertson and Lori (Frank) Scalzo. She was loved dearly by her 15 grandchildren; and 13 great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband, Donald; her son, Dennis; her son-in-law, Mark Marquissee; and her brothers, Jack and Chuck Evans. Visitation will take place at Mark C.
