Obituary From Adams Soderstrum Funeral Home, Story County, Iowa.
Roxana Ruth Robertson of Ames, was born December 6, 1922, in Saratoga, CA. She attended Campbell High School, Campbell, CA, where she met the love of her life, Donald S. Robertson. She married Don on September 13, 1942. They were blessed with three children and made their home in California until 1957. After Don found a position in the Genetics department at Iowa State University, the family relocated to central Iowa, where they would remain.
Roxana was a loving wife, dedicated mother and grandmother, who devoted her life to her family and helping others. She accepted the free gift of eternal life at the age of 24 after hearing a sermon based on three chapters in Romans. She was a member of the First Evangelical Free Church in Ames, now called Christ Community Church, for over 50 years. She was active in Sunday school and benevolence programs most of her life and a committed friend to many international students and their families who are still friends to this day.
She was preceded in death by her parents (Robert Sidensol and Ethyl (Voyle) Sidensol), brother (Robert), sister (Phyllis), husband, two sons (Mark and Bill), and one granddaughter (Jessica Sommers). Those left to cherish her memory are her daughter, Leanne Alexander (Jerry), three beloved grandchildren, John (Debbie) Alexander, Laura Alexander and Sam Robertson, three great grandchildren (and one more on the way), extended family in California, and many, many friends.
Roxana is being interred at Ames Municipal Cemetery with immediate family only attending. A memorial service is being held at Christ Community Church, 5501 GW Carver Ave., Ames, IA, on Friday, October 25, 2019, at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorials gifts may be directed to Christ Community Church.
