Robyn Nelson

Robyn was one of those rare creative forces who changed the world through her dedication, artistic intuition and friendship. I was so fortunate to have been her friend and serve on the IFEA Board together. She has had a lasting impact on my life and career. The world lost a special light on March 1, 2013. But she shines on in all the lives she touched and the impact she made on untold numbers of people. Thank you to Sharon and other loved ones for sharing her with us.

Sharon, I am just reading this - from today's Tribune... "Notable Utah Deathjs of 2013".
I am so sorry for your loss, and my sympathies still and wishes to Grant and all Robyn's many, many friends and other family. What a "force" Robyn was in this life and I can only imagine the "force and "fun" she is having on the other side. Her Spirit flies free.
I love you, Sharon and am dearly sad at this news.

I just learned of Robyn's much too early passing, and wanted to say I knew her, and Sharon way back in the 80s. We had some great times while I lived in Salt Lake. I have very fond memories of Mimosa's on the golf courses. lol 24 years is more than many marriages. I am so sorry, and a big hug to Sharon.

Robyn brought a "force" to any meeting, discussion, and event! Her energy was inspiring and entertaining! I looked forward to IFEA meetings and the honest insights she shared with us all-- her goal was to always make us better than we were. She will be missed-- but her memory and life celebrated by all who know her. Karen Scherberger

I was very sad to hear about Robyn passing, my best memories will be from the Derby Festival. Sharon : in Robyn's memory, I will cherish the beautiful black hat that you both gave me.

I always looked for Robyn at the IFEA gatherings. It was fun hearing her slant on trends and her passion for the arts. May love and light touch her family and partner, and may you remember the good times you had together with exquisite clarity.

I was shocked and saddened to hear about Robyn's passing. She and I were active together years back in the International Festivals & Events Association, and I appreciated her dedication, her passion and her sense of humor. She was far too young (younger than I am!) to leave this world, but she left her mark on it. Best wishes and condolences to her family and loved ones.

I am so very sad to hear about Robyn's passing. I will always remember her wonderful, wacky sense of humor and passion for life. Rest in Peace.
