As the firstborn of her family, it was tough
duty for Lynne when she lost her father, then
later had to adjust to being third in line
in a large, merged family. Like the other
children, however, it was soon standard fare
and she went on. She carried the name of her
natural father, Robinson.
She
was fun-loving and was loved by all who knew
her. She had a grace about her despite her
6' stature. She loved music and was becoming
quite an accomplished pianist when, at age
fourteen, she lost most of the fingers of
her left hand. It took a while for her to
figure out how to play with what was left,
but she did so.
Lynne
had a deep love for beautiful things. Her
room was always filled with plants and animals:
She even raised butterflies there. It was
the family joke that she had her own cemetery
in the orchard (full of gerbils, guinea pigs,
dogs, cats, etc.). She had promising artistic
talent and loved to create things.
A
strength was her compassion for others. She
made a habit of paying special attention to
each of her younger siblings -doing special
things just for them.
After
HS graduation, she worked at the Utah State
Training School which was then a facility
for disabled youth. She often brought individuals
home with her, or took them places outside
of the school. She loved her experience there
and after a year decided to attend college
to become an RN and make working with them
a career.
Early
in the morning of her third day at college,
she was killed in a tragic auto accident.
She was not quite nineteen. Her influence
is still felt by those of us who knew and
loved her. 'Lynne's room' at the ranch is
reminiscent of the things she loved.
