Jayne Ann Robbins
Malad, Idaho, Jayne Ann Robbins, 61, passed peacefully on Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025, surrounded by loved ones.
Jayne, born Jayne Ann Heyder, on December 2, 1963, in Tremonton, UT, was the daughter of William A. & Joan Heyder. She was raised in Snowville, UT, attended school there until 5th grade and then continued her education in Tremonton, graduating with Bear River High School’s class of 1982.
She married Alvin Robbins on January 27th, 1989, in Snowville and they made their home of over 20 years in Stone, Idaho. Here they welcomed two children: her baby boy, Porter William Robbins, and Al’s baby girl, Aneisha Jane Robbins. Though Jayne always joked that Port was hers and Aneisha was Al’s, both of her children were her pride and joy and she loved them more than anything in the world.
Before meeting Al, Jayne described herself as trouble, but really she just knew how to have a good time. She was outgoing, loved to dance, and had the biggest heart. She was everyone’s favorite Aunt, and she took so much pride in her nieces and nephews. Her free-spirited personality impacted all who knew her.
Jayne lost her sweetheart, the love of her life when Alvin passed suddenly on December 1st, 2013. Al’s passing took an indescribable chunk from Jayne’s heart and soul, but she never stopped loving and caring for those around her. Though Porter & Aneisha were her only biological children, her love and care reached far beyond the confines of her own family. Known for her compassionate and nurturing spirit, she became “Momma Jayne” to many (probably more than she knew what to do with most days) offering a listening ear, advice and a swift kick in the butt when necessary, and BOY was it necessary. But most importantly, she extended unconditional love to whoever landed on her doorstep. Her home was a sanctuary and a safe place for anyone in need, and she made a lasting impression on everyone who knew her. Momma Jayne had a unique gift of making everyone feel welcome and loved and with that gift she created the most beautiful family of children and grandchildren whom she would consider nothing less than her own. She was an amazing Momma and Nana.
She worked hard, dedicating over 20 years of her life to ATK in Promontory, UT and after moving to Malad with Alvin in 2012 working at Thomas Market in the deli for another 12 years. Her smiling face behind the counter will be missed by many.
Jayne is survived by her two children: Porter (Chalisse) and Aneisha (Josh) both of Malad, Idaho. 6 grandchildren, her brothers William (Kathy) Heyder, Dan (Jeanie) Heyder, Tim (Lori) Heyder, and her sister Barbara (Joel) Shuman, many nieces and nephews and more who called her mom, nana, aunt, sister and friend.
She was preceded in death by her sweetheart Alvin, her parents William A. & Joan Heyder, Al’s parents Hulbert M. & Ruth Robbins, and brother James W. Heyder.

A viewing will be held on Thursday April 10th, 2025, from 6-8 PM at Horsley Funeral Home and Graveside Services will be Friday April 11th, 2025, at the cemetery in Snowville at 11 AM followed by a potluck luncheon for those who would like to pay their respects.
