Hazel Jean Robinson
PARAGONAH, UT - Hazel Jean Davenport Robinson, 83, passed away on Saturday, April 21, 2012, in her home, from melanoma. She was born October 3, 1928, in Paragonah, UT, the last of 8 children born to William T. and Edith Amanda Wade Davenport. She married Boyd Robinson on May 24, 1951, in the St. George Temple. They are the Parents of Alan (D.Anne) Robinson, Enoch, UT; Wendy (Val) Simmons, Providence, UT; Holly (Laurin) Ashby, Mesa, AZ; Tammy (Donald) Hulet, Paragonah, UT; Beverly (Dallin) Sawyer, & Penny Robinson, Cedar City, UT; Shelly (Michael) Felix, Hyde Park, UT, and foster daughter Dianna (David) Robinson, Lehi, UT.
She is well known for sharing her musical talents, playing the saxophone in dance bands, weddings, rest homes, funerals, and community and church functions. She enjoyed her civic positions including Town Clerk, Mayor, Daughters of the Utah Pioneers, and faithfully served in many organizations in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She and her husband, Boyd, served a full-time mission in Cape Town, South Africa and Namibia.
She attended Branch Agricultural College, worked as a stenographer, and later transcribed patriarchal blessings for Oscar Hulet, for 42 years, and for 15 more years when her husband became Patriarch. She loved to sing with her daughters, play Scrabble and Rook, solve newspaper puzzles, read, travel, compile histories, perform with the ukulele ladies, and keep in touch with family and friends. She loved the fall season, sister's parties, and bridge mix. Our Mother was a woman of faith, had a keen sense of humor, a zest for life, gratitude for her pioneer heritage, and appreciation for talents shared.
In addition to her husband and children, she is survived by her sisters; Sarah Robinson, Wilma Lamoreaux, Rachel (Cal) Smith, Margaret (Kay) Hansen; her sister-in-law, Donna Davenport; as well as 41 grandchildren and 47 great-grandchildren (with 5 more expecting).
