Nyla C. Robinson

Nyla C. Robinson was born in Lewisville, Idaho on August 14, 1928, to Thomas and Grace Clement. Nyla's early years in Idaho were filled with fun and laughter. She had many aunts, uncles, and cousins nearby. Her ties to her Clement family were always strong. Her brothers, nieces, and nephews adored her, and she adored them.
Nyla married Kay L. Robinson (from Afton, Wyoming) on March 8, 1949, in the Idaho Idaho Falls Temple. Shortly after their marriage and Kay's graduation from BYU, they moved from Provo to Afton, where she embraced her new Robinson family. She and Kay lived in the home they designed and built together for almost 70 years.
Nyla was fiercely protective of Star Valley and the community she loved so much. Her civic involvement included serving in the PTA and as a board member of the Afton Library and the American Legion Auxiliary. Nyla was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served in her ward Relief Society presidency and in the Young Women's organization for 17 years. She and Kay served as senior missionaries in the Wisconsin Milwaukee Mission. She touched the lives of all to whom she taught, served, and ministered.
Four children-Susan, Lane, Jan, and Teri-were born to this loving couple. Nyla was an amazing mother. She loved her children dearly. She was an ardent supporter and fan of anything and everything they did. Nyla made sure her children had opportunities to have piano, dance, and ski lessons as well as participate in other sports and interests. She taught them gospel principles and instilled in them a love for the Savior and a desire to be good.
Nyla delighted in cuddling her newborn grandchildren and great-grandchildren and watching them grow and develop. She took an interest in each one. Her 8 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren think she is awesome.
She passed away peacefully in her home in Afton on December 14, 2025, at the age of 97. She was surrounded by her children and husband, Kay, and will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

Funeral services for Nyla will be held January 3, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. in the Afton Tabernacle (325 Jefferson Street). A viewing will be held before the service from 10:00–11:30 a.m.
