Obituary of Douglas Murray Robertson

ROBERTSON, Douglas M. Lyons Brook ROBERTSON, Douglas Murray -95, of Lyons Brook, passed away at home December 18, 2024 (just one month shy of his 96th birthday), only 11 months after his wife Marjorie passed. He was born in Central Caribou, the youngest of 17 children to the late Joseph and Mariam (Heughan) Robertson. Doug was a man who believed in hard work and keeping busy. Even after losing his eyesight, he could get around his house as though he could see. Doug spent many years working at the Pictou Shipyard, as a machinist. He was very talented and there was nothing he couldn’t make. His last 15 years of work were teaching at the Vocational School in Stellarton. Doug often said that he and Marjorie had a great life together, and they enjoyed many winter trips to Florida together. Besides his parents, and his wife Marjorie, Doug was predeceased by his son, Dean; and his 16 brothers and sisters. Cremation has taken place and a service for Doug and Marjorie will be held at a later date. Donations in Doug’s memory may be made to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind.
