Elaine Robinson

May 23, 1955 - Sep. 7, 2025

Date of Service: Sep. 16, 2025

HEYBURN – Helen Elaine Robinson, a cherished mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on September 7, 2025, at her home in Heyburn, Idaho, at the age of 70.

She was born on May 23, 1955, in Twin Falls, Idaho, she lived a full and vibrant life, characterized by her unwavering love for her family and her deep affection for animals.

Elaine was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Kelly B. Robinson; and her dear parents, Thomas Edward Dean and Amy Jackson. She leaves behind a legacy of love and warmth that will be carried on by her children, Dustin (Lisa), Barry (Dawn), and Lane (Ruby); as well as her grandchildren, Kylie (Chris), Kelsie, Kwentyn, and Manny; and her great-grandchildren, who brought her immense joy. She is also survived by her sister, Cindy (Gerald) Arthur; her brother, Tommy (Tami) Dean; and numerous nieces and nephews who will forever remember her kindness and spirited nature.

Elaine’s educational journey culminated in her graduation from Valley High School, where she laid the foundation for a life filled with passion and purpose. On February 15, 1974, she married the love of her life, Kelly Robinson. They were later sealed in the Ogden Utah Temple on July 16, 1976, which was a testament to true companionship and enduring love. Throughout her life, Elaine found immense joy in her work, dedicating herself to her passion for grooming dogs. She had a remarkable gift for caring for animals, and her home was always filled with the companionship of goats, dogs, horses, cats, sheep, and even one beloved pig. This love for animals was a reflection of her nurturing spirit, as she embraced every creature with a tender heart. Known for her ornery yet loving disposition, Elaine had a heart of gold that touched everyone who knew her. She was a woman of strong character and was never afraid to speak her mind, but it was her kindness and generosity that truly defined her. Her laughter was infectious, and her warmth radiated to all those around her, creating an environment filled with love and joy.

A viewing for family and friends will be held at 10 a.m. Tuesday, September 16, 2025, at Rasmussen-Wilson Funeral Home, located at 1350 East 16th Street in Burley.

A graveside service will follow at 11 a.m. at Riverside Cemetery in Heyburn.

Elaine will be dearly missed, but her spirit will live on in the hearts of her family and friends, and in the memories of all the lives she touched. As we remember her, let us carry forward her legacy of love, kindness, and an unwavering passion for life.

Oh gosh! I am so stunned by this. I have known Elaine since I was a young girl through my grandmother. Elaine has always been so caring and groomed my fur kids so well. I enjoyed our chit chats when picking up and dropping off my doggies. I was just thinking I needed to text her to let her know my last fur kid had passed last month. She would always ask about my family and talk about how much she missed my mom and grandmama, too. I hear her asking me if I wanted a dog to care / take for home for free. Awe Elaine, you will be missed immensely. My condolences to her family and all of us who were blessed to have known her. Thank you, Elaine, for being a great person. Prayers for all.

I am shocked to hear of your Mothers passing. I just had a long conversation with her on Aug 25th late in the afternoon,we talked about her working too much and needing to retire.
