Virginia Lassiter Robertson
Virginia Lassiter Robertson, 95, of Kill Devil Hills, NC, passed away peacefully on October 2, 2025, surrounded by her loving children at Outer Banks Hospital.
Born and raised in Dusty Hill (Jackson), NC to Claytor and Lottie Lassiter, Virginia was one of seven siblings. She then moved to Elizabeth City, NC where she and her husband Wilton raised their family.
Known affectionately as Ms. Virginia, Gimmie, or simply “Granny,” she was a cherished part of the Outer Banks community for more than 45 years, most of that time residing on Sound Side Road in Nags Head. Virginia had a deep love for the coastal environment. She was an avid fisherwoman who competed in many Nags Head fishing tournaments, a talented crafter, a gardener with a remarkable green thumb, and a gifted cook, especially of true southern-style meals.
Her warmth, resourcefulness, and spirited love of life will be remembered by all who knew her.
Virginia was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Wilton E. Robertson, three sisters, three brothers, and a great-granddaughter.
She is survived by her children: daughters DeLana Barkley (James) and Cindy Robertson of Kitty Hawk, NC; sons Anthony Robertson of Elizabeth City, NC, and Kevin Robertson (Michelle) of Kill Devil Hills, NC. She also leaves behind her brother, Gerald Lassiter of Roanoke Rapids, NC, seven grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.
