Janice Robinson

Janice Williams Robinson passed away peacefully in her home in Kanarraville, Utah surrounded by her family on November 6, 2023. She was 84 years old.

Janice was born in Cedar City, Utah to J Reed and Berneice Williams on March 25, 1939 and was the oldest of five children. She grew up in Kanarraville, Utah and graduated from Cedar High School. On June 14, 1958 she married Don Albert Robinson in the St. George, Utah Temple where they were sealed together for time and all eternity. They were married for 65 wonderful years.

Shortly after they were married, Don and Janice relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada where they diligently worked side by side to build and maintain a successful business, as well as raise their six children. Janice was a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She valued any opportunity to serve, but especially loved her assignment in the primary as a sunbeam teacher. She had a deep love of the Savior and His gospel which was reflected in the love and service that she gave to others.

For many years Janice ran a daycare service out of her home – a job that was more like a beloved hobby. She loved nurturing and teaching young children, especially her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. For Janice there was no higher calling or privilege than being a mother and grandmother. Her family was her most precious gift.

Janice was known for her vivacious personality and her ability to talk to anyone and everyone. She exuded kindness and was always found in the service of others. She leaves behind a legacy of strength, long-suffering, kindness, and family unity.

Janice is survived by her husband Don A. Robinson, children LeAnn Hewitt (Brian), Lori Champlin (Paul), Lynette Anderson, Lisa Richins (Micah), Lindy Hirschi (Kyle), and Lorin Don “Donny” Robinson as well as her twenty-one grandchildren and twenty-five great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her siblings Keith Williams, Kenneth Williams and Vickie Cornelius. She is preceded in death by her parents, J Reed and Berneice Williams, and her brother Norvel “Bud” Williams.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, November 11th at 12:00pm at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints church building in Kanarraville, Utah. A viewing will be held on the same day and location from 10:00-11:30 am.
