It is with deep love and gratitude for a life well lived that the family of Anna Florence Robertson (Long) announces her peaceful passing on June 2, 2026, at the age of 92, surrounded by family in Medicine Hat, Alberta.

It is with deep love and gratitude for a life well lived that the family of Anna Florence Robertson (Long) announces her peaceful passing on June 2, 2026, at the age of 92, surrounded by family in Medicine Hat, Alberta. Anna was born on March 4, 1934, in Elk Point, Alberta, to Bud and Nellie Long. An only child, she spent her early years in the Elk Point area.

In Lloydminster, she met a handsome young welding apprentice named John Cameron Robertson. Their love story began, and on October 26, 1953, they were married. Together they shared an incredible 72 years of marriage, living in Kamloops and Trail BC, Calgary, retiring in Elk Point, and moving to Medicine Hat, in 2014.

She embraced life wholeheartedly. Anna loved gardening, curling, sewing, crafting, baking, camping, entertaining guests, and spending hours visiting over coffee. Never one to slow down, Anna even took up aquacise classes in her 80s.

More than anything, Anna loved her family. She was an extraordinary wife, mother, Nana, and Gigi. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were the light of her life, and she delighted in every opportunity to spend time with them.

Though small in stature, she possessed a lot of personality and a big heart. She had a remarkable gift for making everyone she met feel welcomed and no stranger remained one for long. Anna leaves to cherish her memory her beloved husband, John Cameron Robertson; her children, Robb Roy Robertson (Robin) and Marvia Jay Hawker (Murray); her grandchildren, Chase Robertson, Brett Hawker, and Brooke Burden (Dave); and her treasured great-grandchildren, Frankie and Mick Burden.

She was predeceased by her beloved grandson, Brock. A Celebration of Anna's Life will be held on Saturday, July 18, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. at Pattison Funeral Home & Celebration of Life Centre, 540 South Railway Street, Medicine Hat, Alberta. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to honour Anna's memory are invited to make a donation to Haying in the 30's.

Arrangements are by the PATTISON FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORIUM 540 South Railway St. SE, Medicine Hat T1A 2V6. Please call 1-866-526-2214 for further information.
