Vera Ladean
(Peel) Robertson
May 17, 1932 — Aug 24, 2024
Jonesboro
Ladean (Peel) Robertson, age 92, was born on May 17, 1932, in Jonesboro, and passed away on August 24, 2024. She was a member of Center Point Baptist Church.
She was preceded in death by husband Houston Robertson; parents, Brinson and Katie (Culpepper) Peel; sister Maxine (Peel) Holmes; son-in-law, Pat Burson.
Ladean is survived by her daughters, Debbie Robertson, Denise Burson; grandchildren, Jennifer DelRio (Rusty) and Joshua Burson (Chelsea); great-grandchildren, Emily Jones (Christian Girod), Zachary Jones, Hannah Jones (Garrett Stanford), Austin DelRio, Mattie DelRio; and great-great-granddaughter, Haisley Jane Stanford.
A graduate of Louisiana Business College in Monroe, Ladean enjoyed several years in the workforce before becoming a homemaker. She and Houston, who were married 68 years, enjoyed home improvement projects, fishing, and gardening. They both enjoyed cooking for family and church events.
Ladean enjoyed her roles as Mom, Mamaw Dean, and Aunt Dean, and a couple of years ago she became Mommy Dean to the youngest family member. She could often be found painting or making wreaths and other crafts with her girls. When her grandchildren and great grandchildren were younger, she loved spending time with them coloring, playing jacks and pickup sticks, or reading. More recently, she's enjoyed pizza lunches and spa days with her now grown-up great-grands. "Snail mail" was always a favorite, and she would read and re-read all of her notes from friends and family.
The family wishes to thank Center Point Baptist Church's Willing Hearts Ministry, Doctors Ed and Sheila Mariano, Jackson Parish Hospital, Forest Haven Nursing Home, Premier Hospice, and special friends and caregivers Lucy Barber and Aisha Richburg, for their encouragement and care.
