Emma Maxine Memmott Robins
1915 ~ 2004

     SCIPIO, UTAH- God called one of his choicest spirits, Emma Maxine Memmott
Robins home to be with His other choice spirits in His kingdom on Tuesday,
January 6, 2004 in the Fillmore Hospital.

     She was born on October 8, 1915 in Scipio, UT to Angus and Ina Peterson
Memmott.

     She married Mont Benjimin Robins on March 27, 1933 in Provo, UT. Their
marriage was later solemnized in the Manti LDS Temple. They celebrated their
70th Wedding Anniversary on March 27, 2003.

     Maxine attended elementary school in Scipio, UT and Millard High School
in Fillmore, Utah. She was a devoted LDS church member and filled many
positions in that great organization. She was active for many years in the
Round Valley Chapter of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers and was
instrumental in beautifying the Scipio Cemetery. She never missed an
opportunity to give blood to the Red Cross organization. Unselfish with her
time in helping the less fortunate, she was always available to help those in
need. She uncomplainingly cared for her husband's invalid grandmother when she
was 19 years old. She also took care of her uncle Curtis and aunt Addie for
many years. She made a beautiful and loving home for her husband, children,
grandchildren, and great-grand children. She was exemplary in her homemaking
skills. She had a great love for flowers and the beauty of the earth. She
loved to travel with her husband and was a dedicated companion to him.

Beeston of Hurricane, UT, Gary (RosaLee) Robins of Scipio, UT, Janeal
(Richard) Monsen of St. George, UT; 14 grandchildren; 41 great-grand children;
sisters, Florence (Mark) Robins and Edith Monroe; sister-in-law, Lila Robins;
many nieces and nephews who fondly called her "Aunt Mackie".

     She is preceded in death by her parents; a baby daughter, Ina Maxine; two
brothers, Lon and Edward; brother-in-law, Neil Monroe; sisters-in-law, Ossie
Memmott and Fern Memmott.

     She will be greatly missed by all of her family and friends. Funeral
services will be held Saturday, January 10, 2004 at 1:00 p.m. at the Scipio
