Halcyon (Hallie) Larsen Robins, age 94, wife, mother, grandmother and friend passed away peacefully Oct. 24, 2019, at Cottage Glen Assisted Living surrounded by her family. She was born July 20, 1925, in Ephraim, Utah, to Fayben and Deldee Larsen and spent a wonderful childhood there. Hallie graduated from Snow High and served as class president. She continued at Snow College for two years. After graduation she moved to Logan to attend Utah State University where she was an active member of Theta Upsilon Sorority, serving in many activities. She became an avid Utah State fan for life. Hallie married Wayne D. Robins on Sept. 10, 1948, in the Manti Temple and both graduated in June 1949. They moved to Tooele where Hallie taught elementary and junior high school for many years. She returned to school and received her master’s degree in home economics and became the Utah State Extension Agent in Tooele County until her retirement. She was very respected in this profession and worked tirelessly to achieve that respect.
She stayed very active in retirement, playing bridge, civic league, DUP, friend’s groups and family. Hallie loved to travel and made it her goal to go to every continent and state. She achieved that goal except going to Antarctica. Hallie was a wonderful and generous wife and mother, and was the heart of her family, always planning and providing trips and activities for everyone to enjoy. She loved doing things for people and never expected anything in return.
She is survived by her two children, Randy (Florence) Robins, Debbie (Alex) Pacheco; grandchildren, Matthew (Olivia) Pacheco, Ashlie (Deven) Ransom, Megan Olmos, Mekenzi (Mike) Terry, Marcus Pacheco; and 15 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, Wayne; her parents; brother, O’Neil; sister, U’Dean; and granddaughter, Alexis.
