Nov. 27, 1922 -Dec. 28, 2018 (34 'ewiee Saturday, January 5, 2019 - 11:00 A.M. Elim Baptist Church 2359 Mt. Auburn Street Augusta, GA 30904 Hattie B. Robertson entered eternal rest at Azalea Nursing and Rehabili- tation Center on December 28, 2018. She was bom Hattie Bell Mason in Augusta, GA on November 27, 1922 to the late Abraham and Lillie (Walker) Mason. She was the middle child and only sister of her two brothers Abraham Mason Jr. and Albert Mason, both of whom have pre- deceased her. She affectionately become known around Augusta to fami- ly and friends as Sissy. Sissy grew up in Augusta, Georgia but by the age of 25 headed north to Philadelphia for new opportunities and growth. It was in Philadelphia she began waitressing at a restaurant and met a handsome sailor, Winfred Lee Robertson, who would turn out to be the love of her life. The two wed after six months of dating on August 31, 1948 and to this union five children were bom. After her husbands retirement from the United States Navy the family relocated from Quonset Point, Rhode Island back to Hatties tme home of Augusta in 1964. Hattie was an extraordinary woman serving many different roles. She was a devoted wife and mother. She was also a dedicated member of Elim Baptist Church in which she served for decades as an usher. In 1989, a few years after the loss of her husband she answered the call to take on a new role of legal guardian. She opened her home to her then 1-year-old great-niece to raise as her own until the age of 13. Sissy had the ability to command attention in any room. Standing a mere 51 she had the personality of a giant and a laugh that would bring joy to anyone near. Upon meeting this special woman, you would instantly be left with quite an impression. She was truly unforgettable. Hattie was preceded in death by her husband Winfred Sr. of 37 years, her sons Winfred Robertson Jr., Gordon Robertson and her granddaughter Tina Harris.
