Mrs. Robertazzi was born in Watertown, S.D., in 1916. She came west to work a series of jobs, including for Boeing in Seattle, and then came to California in the 1940s. There, she met her husband, Albert Robertazzi, and they were married in 1953. Mrs. Robertazzi was also employed by AT&T for 10 to 15 years, and was one of the first workers at the former St. Catherine Hospital on Half Moon Bay (now Seton Medical Center Coastside) when it opened, answering the switchboard. She was employed there for about 10 years. The Robertazzis were avid bingo players upon retirement. Mrs. Robertazzi was a Moss Beach resident from the early 1950s until 2000, when she relocated to the Bougainvillea Care Home to be near family. Mrs. Robertazzi was a caring and loving wife, mother and grandmother who will be missed by all who knew her, said family members, who extend special gratitude to Mrs. Robertazzi's caregivers. Mrs. Robertazzi is preceded in death by her husband, Albert Robertazzi, who died in 1998, her parents, Patrick and Mary O'Brien, and her siblings Judy, Marge, Nora, Catherine, John, Joe, Mike and Thomas. She is survived by her loving daughter and son-in-law, Mary Ann and David Lanahan of San Bruno, and adoring grandchildren AB David Lanahan, who is stationed with the Air Force in Texas, and Kerry Anne Lanahan of San Bruno.
