Rosemary Frances Robbins

Rosemary Frances Robbins Green River - The World’s Greatest Mother, Rosemary Frances Worthington Robbins, 93, of Green River passed away November 17, 2011 at her home following a 2 month illness. She was born May 26, 1918 in Portland, Oregon, the daughter of Claire Milton Worthington and Susie Maud Pitts Worthington. Her early life during the Depression was one of odd jobs. She worked as diverse as a maid, catalog-assembler, envelope stuffer and cook. She enlisted in the Women’s Army Corp during WWII. She was stationed in the Portland Filter Center (where troops, ships and aircraft movements were tracked) in the evenings after working all day as a clerk. She met Reo Robbins, CPO in the US Navy while both were stationed in Long Beach, California in 1944. They were married January 5, 1945. During their marriage, they lived in California and later Utah. Following the death of her husband Reo Robbins in 1983, she moved to Gig Harbor, Washington where she lived for the next 10 years. Forced from her home by rising property taxes, she moved to Green River in 1993 where she and her son Aaron Scott built a home together and lived for the last 17 years of her life. Her interests included knitting, sewing, embroidery, crewel, crochet and reading probably every mystery ever written. Survivors include her daughters, Sharran Haije, Rean Robbins-Duncan, and Ronda Robbins Jones, son Aaron Scott, 10 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren, and her beloved and loving, but frequently annoying dogs. She was preceded in death by everybody she ever knew or met, practically, she being the last of that generation in the entire family. Cremation has taken place at Fox Crematory, Rock Springs. Graveside services and inurnment with her husband with military honors will take place Wednesday, November 23, 2011 at the Lake Hills Cemetery, Sandy, Utah.
