Nixie Robertson

DUMAS - Nixie Robertson, 72, died Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2005.

Services will be at 10 a.m. Monday in Bible Baptist Church of Dumas with 
Jerald Chadwick, close family friend and pastor of Central Baptist Church 
of Amarillo, officiating and Rick Korsmo, pastor of Bible Baptist Church 
of Dumas, assisting. Burial will be in Dumas Cemetery by Morrison Funeral 
Directors.

Mrs. Robertson was born Nov. 30, 1932. She had been a Dumas resident since 
1951.

She was born to Lester and Birdie McDougal in Fort Towson, Okla. Following 
the death of her father at an early age, she was raised by her Daddy 
Claude Key.

She was a very committed homemaker and mother. She and her husband, 
Shorty, were loving, hard-working, devoted parents who considered it their 
duty to instill a sense of faith, purpose, honesty and responsibility in 
their children. She later worked outside the home as a 
secretary/dispatcher for a trucking company, as a salesperson in a jewelry 
store and as a desk clerk in a motel. Nixie was a member of Faith Baptist 
Church in Dumas and later a member of Bible Baptist Church in Dumas. After 
their retirement, Nixie and Shorty enjoyed traveling in their fifth-wheel 
trailer and visiting with their extended family. Nixie had a special place 
in her heart for her Shetland sheepdogs. She was a mother to almost 
everyone she met. Her generosity of spirit was unparalleled. We are all 
fortunate for having the experience of knowing and loving her.

Survivors include her husband, R.L.; three daughters, Linda Hamlin of 
Mount Pulaski, Ill., Glenna Rummel and husband, S.D., of Fritch and 
Suzanne Roberts and husband, Glenn, of Springfield, Va.; a son, Tim 
Robertson of Dumas; a brother, John Key and wife, Donna, of Yreka, Calif.; 
nine grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; an aunt, Nellie Weathers of 
Valliant, Okla.; a nephew, Mike Key of California; many special cousins 
and friends; and her beloved four-legged friends, Heidi, Missy and Alex.

The family suggests memorials be to Memorial Hospice, 224 E. Second, 
Dumas, TX 79029.

The family will be at 303 Robin Road in Dumas.
