In Memory

Dorothy Ann Ball (Robertson)

Victoria - Dorothy Ann Ball Robertson died April 20 2023, age 82.  Graduate of Victoria High School, Tulane Nursing School, G.S., Victoria College,M.S. Texas A& M.  

Dorothy devoted five decades to the nursing profession as an R.N. and Nurse Practioner.  In contrast to her talents as a healer of the body, she was known to be mercurial of tenderness and wrath, unapolgetic and a carrier of grudges, until late-life dementia eased her resolve.  

Preceded in death by her mother, LIbrada Lee" Juarex (nee Rubio), stepfather Manuel Juarez, Sr., siblings Rosemary Mendez (nee Ball), Manuel Juarex, Jr., and Tony Juarez.  Survived by her children Leigh Ann Soderholtz, Rebecca Neil Robertson, and James E. Robertson, a brother found late in life Johnny Camacho, nine grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, many neices and nephews, and colleagues and patients who called her firend.  The famiy wishes to thank the caregivers at Mercey House of Victoria for the kidness shown to mom in her final years.
