BURLEY – Our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, Bernice Gummow Robinson, 97, passed away peacefully at the home of her son, LeRoy, in Albion, Idaho, on Friday, March 3, 2017.
Bernice was born on March 31, 1919, in Burley, Idaho, to Fred and Mamie (Wishop) Gummow. She married Floyd H. Robinson on Dec. 4, 1940, in Burley, Idaho. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Ogden Utah LDS Temple.
Bernice began farming with her father in her youth and continued farming with her husband and sons on her farm in View. She enjoyed working outside on the farm and always had dairy cattle that she milked into her 70s and then took care of baby calves. She had a strong and independent spirt as she lived in her own home until January of this year. She also had a love of reading and gardening. She was a faithful and active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
