Our loving Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt and Friend, Teddy Jean Robins, 82, of Beaumont, Texas, died Tuesday, December 11, 2012. She had five wonderful children.
Teddy was born on December 8, 1930, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Bill and Mary Larsen. She was raised in Salt Lake City and attended the Salt Lake City schools. Throughout her life she developed a long and loving bond to her older sister, June Larsen Weed.
Teddy worked most of her life doing accounting and bookkeeping and at one point shared a trucking business with her sister, June, and brother-in-law, Ross.
She had many hobbies and talents, and she was an excellent seamstress, loved finding treasures at antique shops, and yard sales. She had an open-door policy and made everyone feel welcome in her home. You were a stranger but once! She was a great people person and attracted many lifelong friends throughout her life.
Her greatest joy was spending time with her family and extended family, The Weed’s. Her favorite times were traveling and especially seeing Marilyn and Tom Godfrey in Maui, Hawaii.
Teddy leaves a void in the lives of many loving children, grand children, great-grand children, sister, and many nieces and nephews and friends.
She is survived by her four children; Marcia MaComb of Salt Lake City, Utah; Chris Richards and her husband, Jerry, of Salt Lake City, Utah; Ben Robins and his wife, Lorraine, of Clearfield, Utah; and James Robins and his wife, April, of Beaumont; sister, June Weed of Beaumont, Texas; and many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and friends.
She is preceded in death by her son, Timothy Robins; and granddaughter, Jenifer Ruston.
The family would like to extend a special heartfelt thanks to Aunt June and her family for taking such good care of our Mom. We were far away and couldn’t be there for her, but always comforted by the fact you were there for her with your love and support. Thank You!
A memorial service will be held 2:00 p.m., Sunday, December 16, 2012, at Broussard’s, 2000 McFaddin Avenue, Beaumont, with a family committal at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Beaumont, Texas.
