Brit Evelyn Robinson
Brit Evelyn Olstad Robinson, 82, of Myton, Utah, passed away peacefully at the home of her son after a long, courageous, and valiant health struggle on April 1, 2026.
Brit was born in Oslo, Norway, on October 22, 1943, to Lillian Evelyn Hoff and Olaf Scheldrup Dynne. Her mother later married Sverre Odd Olstad, who adopted and raised her as his own. Her family was introduced to the LDS missionaries, and she was baptized as a teenager. She traveled with her close friend Kari Mirk to the United States in 1962 and chose to reside there permanently. She came to Utah and attended a
Norwegian branch of her church, where she met Howard K. Williams, whom she later married in the Salt Lake City Temple. Together, they had five children: Elizabeth (deceased), Douglas, Katherine, Andrew (deceased), and Spencer. They later divorced, though she remained close to the Williams family, especially her parents-in-law, Elwood and Norma. She later married J.L. “Speed” Robinson in 1999 and was sealed to him in
the Logan Temple in 2007. They enjoyed traveling together and taking road trips in their motorhome, time with friends, having family dinners, creating a business, and building their dream home in Ovid, Idaho. They later returned to Utah in 2015 to be closer to their children.
Brit was deeply devoted to her faith and served in many callings in Relief Society,
particularly in compassionate service, Scouting, and Primary. She was deeply devoted to her children, helping with PTA at her kids’ school, taking Andy and Spencer to High School Rodeos, and providing full-time care for Elizabeth, giving her every opportunity to live a fulfilling life. She remained devoted and faithful throughout her life, even during hardships and trials. She was rarely found without her camera and loved photographing wildlife, landscapes, and everyday moments that caught her eye. She also enjoyed painting, drawing, quilting, baking the most wonderful bread, caring for animals, ice-fishing with her close friend Carole, and collecting rocks. She was deeply proud of her
Norwegian heritage and continued to speak her native language throughout her life, sharing many cherished traditions with her family.
The family would like to give a special thank you to Elsa, Haydee and Tonia, for the wonderful care they gave Brit in her final days.
She is survived by her children, Doug (Karie) of Myton, Utah; Kathy (Shane) of Lehi, Utah; and Spencer (Sherri) of Duchesne, Utah; grandchildren Preston, Hailey, Trent (Kennady), Karly, and Shanae; and great-granddaughters, Freya (Mother Rosa) and
KayzLynne.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Speed; her children, Elizabeth and Andrew; her parents; and her brother, Odd Olstad.
She spent her final days surrounded by love and care at the home of her son Doug and his wife Karie, who devotedly supported her and cared for her.
Funeral services will be held on April 11, 2026 at 11:00 AM at the Neola Chapel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A viewing will be held that morning from 10:00 -10:45 AM prior to the service. Burial will be in the Roosevelt Memorial Park.
