Eleen Robinson Obituary

Eleen Davenport Robinson, beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and great-great grandmother, was born January 19, 1931, in Parowan, Utah, to Thomas and Pearl Davenport. She passed away four days before her 94th birthday on January 15, 2025, at her home in Parowan, surrounded by her family.
Except for a short time after she was married, Eleen spent her entire life growing up and raising her own family in Parowan. She married her high school sweetheart, Clair Dahl Robinson (Tuffy), on August 5, 1949, in the Logan, Utah, LDS temple. They were blessed with seven children. Clair passed away December 14, 1989. Eleen devoted the rest of her life to her home, her garden, and, most importantly, to her family of 32 grandchildren, 105 great grandchildren, and 19 great-great grandchildren.
Eleen was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She had a strong testimony of her Savior, Jesus Christ, and exemplified that to her children. During her life she served in various callings.
Gardening was Eleen's passion. She spent many hours working in her yard. You could find her there early in the mornings and late in the evenings. Following the paths in her garden led you to many different, beautiful flowers and trees. It always smelled like spring. Eleen cared for her yard and garden until close to her death.
Later in her life she enjoyed traveling with her sisters. They traveled the world from Europe, Asia, Middle East, and South America.
