Amanda Kay Robbins Williams

This world lost a gorgeous, spiritually gifted and Christ-like woman and gained an angel on Monday, December 17, 2018. Our beloved Mother, Wife, Daughter, Sister and Friend, Amanda Kay Robbins Williams, (37), bravely fought the fight, finished the course and is now comfortably at peace. She was an amazing example of patience, tolerance, and love. An example of charity, she loved all whom she met and put others before herself. Even when she was the one in need, she lifted and cared for everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. She was the embodiment of Christ’s love and made the world a better place.

Amanda’s greatest joy came from her four beautiful children and husband. Amanda found joy in all she did, from watching her kids jump in huge piles of shredded paper then cleaning the mess for days, to joking around about her “tumor babies,” she didn’t let anything keep her down. She taught us our family mottos “We Can Do Hard Things” and in the face of that adversity, “Stand Tall.”

We will miss her lunch napkin notes, healing hugs, contagious giggling, eternal smile and so much more. Having her in our lives was a gift that came without ribbons, it came without tags; it came without packages, boxes or bags. Though she is not here physically we will always feel her spirit near. As we celebrate her life, Christmas will mean a little bit more each year.

She is now free to do exactly what she has always wanted. She will touch our hearts providing comfort and love. Feel of her love and let her spirit move you.

She has promised to be there when we need her, no matter where we are. When asked last week what she wanted others to learn from her life she said, “Don’t be afraid to laugh at the stupid things. Don’t sweat the small stuff and appreciate what you have in your life. Teach that perspective every day, when you think things are too hard they are really not that big of a deal. Appreciate the little things; be like a little kid and soak it all up every second. Don’t forget to live. Decide to go out and have a good day. Live for the day and yourself. Be a good person. Trials are mandatory, but misery is optional.”

Amanda is survived by her incredible family: Four children McKenna (15), Bryson (12), Ashlynn (9), and Darryn (7), her “Superman” husband Scott, her parents Steve and Taunya Robbins, her siblings Matt, Jennifer, Kenessa and Todd, Erik and Cassi, Kira and Kevin, her paternal grandparents S. Kenneth and Juanita, her in-laws, nieces and nephews and many amigos who love her.

Funeral services will be held Saturday, December 22 at 11:00 A.M. at the Syracuse South Stake Center, 3065 S. Bluff Rd. Syracuse, UT 84075. A viewing will be held Friday, December 21 from 6-8 P.M. at the same location and one hour prior to services on Saturday at 10:00 A.M.

We love you, Mandy. Though our hearts ache, we know we will see you again.

Before her passing Amanda stated, “Flowers are beautiful, but music from my kids is a lot more beautiful to me.” In Lieu of flowers Amanda has asked that the funds be put towards providing instruments and lessons for her children. An account has been set up at America First Credit Union named “Amanda Williams Memorial Fund” for such donations.
