Robertson, Barbara M. (Dunlap) of Roslindale passed away suddenly yet peacefully in her sleep on Tuesday, December 8, 2020.  Barbara was a gentle soul and known to all for her kindness.  She was a devoted mother to her four girls, loving wife, daughter, sister and aunt. She was most proud to be the dedicated "Nana" to her twelve grandchildren, including Matthew Prior, who preceded her in death and who she now joins in heaven.  While her family and friends are devastated by her loss, they will remember Barbara most at Christmas, the time of year she loved most with her family.

She is survived by her husband William Robertson; mother June T Dunlap (Farmer); daughters, Pamela DiBerardino (Van Dam) and her husband Lou; Catherine Taggart (Van Dam) and her husband Brian; Michelle Skehill and her husband Gerard; Jennifer Schiarizzi and her husband Anthony; grandchildren Julia and Joe Prior; Owen and Alex Taggart; Brendan, Will, Taylor and Ryan Skehill; Thomas, Andrew and Isabel Schiarizzi.  She also leaves behind her brothers, Johnny, Danny, and David; sisters, Elaine and Christine; and many nieces, nephews and friends. She is preceded in death by her sisters; Mary and Catherine, and her father George Dunlap.
