Marcina Mildred Monica Marie Robertson
December 28, 1956 - March 24, 2021
Marcina Robertson, beloved sister and aunt, passed away in her sleep, March 24, 2021 from complications of liver disease.
Born to Leo (Dude) and Ruth Robertson on December 28, 1956 in Granite City, Illinois. She was a cheerleader in junior high and when the family moved to Utah was active in band and pep squad at Tooele High.
Nursing became her passion as she became an LPN by the age of 19. She then attended Westminster College where she received her BSN and MBA. After a successful nursing career at St. Mark's Hospital for over 20 years she became involved in provider relations programs at Cigna then Select Health. She kept to her nursing roots by overseeing diabetes education and immunizations. She leaves behind a legacy of helathcare initiatives from her varied career and will be sorely missed by countless colleagues. Always the social butterfly, she made and kept friends effortlessly. She leaves a pervasive void in the lives of family and friends who are left to muddle through without her organizing lead.
Marcina is preceded in death by her parents and Murphy, the best dog ever. She is survived by her siblings Leo (Julie Robertson, Michael (Darlyn) Robertson, Rebecca Robertson, Carleen (Lance) McNees and Laura Horton. Her absence will be felt by an abundance of nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews.
Special thanks to Josh, Erica and Teresa at Rocky Mt. Home Care, the staff at Utah Cancer Specialists, Dr. Nibley, Anita Gordon, Dr. Harmston and Dr. Philip Roberts.

I am so sorry for your loss. Marcina was a good friend. Our paths were similar at St Marks and then we re-connected when I started working at SelectHealth. I will miss her smile and laugh. We had good times. ❤️❤️ Chris
Anytime I saw Marcina, it brought a smile to my face. And I love seeing her smile in that picture. Marcina knew how to touch so many people’s lives. What an amazing lady and what a great legacy she has left behind. I have been truly blessed to have met Marcina through work at SelectHealth. I know she has left many loved ones here behind, but I can only imagine the great warm welcoming on the other side. May the family be comforted during this time and may you all feel surrounded by love.
My heart is broken. We all know we will eventually have to say goodbye to our loved ones, but I didn't know this painful goodbye was to happen so soon. Marcina was my dear friend, professional colleague and partner in crime. Her compassion for others knew no bounds. Every person in her eyes was a beautiful and valued human being and deserved equal love and respect. She walked this talk every day of her beautiful life. I deeply respected her and appreciate the joy and happiness she brought to my life. My deepest condolences to her lovely family. Each of you also brought so much joy to my life. Thank you for sharing her with me and my family. Rest in peace my dear friend, I know you are above with the greatest of souls. Meg Danielson & Jerry Alexander.
I worked with Marcina at St Mark's hospital. She was smart, funny, and kind to everyone.
This woman was literally my angel on earth. Always showed kindness, always had a hug and a gift card to make any ones day brighter. I hope to honor her by paying her kindness forward. Thank you Marcina for being a true friend.
My Dear friend Marcina was always so good to all of us at the Salon, and she was always super sweet to me.. She was a breath of fresh air when she walked in. She made everyone happy I loved doing her hair she loved to feel beautiful and kept herself well done I will miss her always...
