Lainey was born March 1, 2007 in Cedar Rapids, the daughter of Bryan and Wendi (Rogers) Robertson. She was currently a freshman at Kennedy High School, Cedar Rapids.

Bowling, swimming, going to school and riding the bus to get there, time on her iPad and reading books with her siblings were some of Lainey's favorites. But Lainey's best love of all was her life and the people that were a part of it. Lainey is now up in Heaven asking everyone "how are yooouu" and "do you have a watch?"

Lainey is survived by her mother and stepfather, Wendi (Duane) Frye; father and stepmother, Bryan (Ashley) Robertson; brother, Aiden Frye; sisters: Lacey Durgin and Adelyn, Brylea and Avery Robertson; grandparents: Dean (LuAnn) Robertson, Tony (Sharon) Rogers, Richard Frye and Laurie Boone; and many other family members and friends.
