Remembering Jennifer

A life held close in memory

Jennifer Gale “Jenni” Pursley Robertson was born August 5, 1985, in Austin, Texas. She grew up in the Dripping Springs area and completed her secondary education at Dripping Springs High School in 2003. Jenni continued her studies at San Diego State University, earning a Bachelor of Arts in English in 2006, and later completed a Master of Business Administration from the University of Phoenix in 2010.

Professionally, Jenni brought people and projects together. She worked in operations roles for many years and, at the time of her death, served as Operations Manager at Voltage Control, a company that publicly remembered her as a core member of their team whose loss left a deep mark. Colleagues described her as someone who supported others and helped shape workplace culture.

Most of all, Jenni was a mother. Her son James Daric Robertson—known to family as a bright, outgoing six-year-old—was central to her life and identity. Family notices and local remembrance pieces emphasize the pride she took in that role and the joy James brought to those who knew him.

Public records and local reporting confirm that Jenni and her son died in October 2021; the date recorded in several official and news sources is October 18, 2021. Friends, neighbors, and her employer spoke afterward about her adventurous, fun-loving nature and the many personal relationships she nurtured across Austin and the Dripping Springs community.

Although published funeral-home obituary notices tied specifically to the exact date of death were not located in the sources reviewed, multiple reputable local news and community outlets carried memorials and remembrances that reflect the family’s loss and the affection many felt for Jenni and James. Her life as a daughter, colleague, and devoted mother is what family and friends choose to remember most: a person who brought energy to daily life, invested in learning and leadership, and cherished her child.

Those who wish to honor her memory have created informal memorials and tributes online, and her employer has established remembrance efforts in her name. While public records document the tragic end to Jenni’s life, the verified details gathered here are presented to center her lived life—her education, work, family, and the community ties that made her known and loved.
