Lyndzee Robbins Ephraim girl, 11, killed in four-wheeler accident By John Hales Managing editor 7-30-08 EPHRAIM—Ephraim is grieving the loss of a young resident killed in an ATV accident on a city street in Ephraim Monday. According to the Ephraim Police Department, Lyndzee Robbins, 11, the daughter of Diana and Don Robbins, was a passenger in the two-seater ATV with three other youngsters, one of whom was the driver. They were traveling along Canyon Road, a city street that leads to Ephraim Canyon. Due to a cause still under investigation, the vehicle flipped onto its right side, trapping Robbins underneath. Ephraim EMTs transported her to Sanpete Valley Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The other youths suffered minor injuries. Based on descriptions of Lyndzee from her teacher and principal at Ephraim Elementary, she probably would not want people to mourn her too much. “One thing about Lyndzee is that she always wanted everyone to be happy. If someone wasn’t very happy, then she wasn’t happy,” said her fifth-grade teacher Rory Hansen. Hansen said Lyndzee was always thinking of others. “She made sure everyone was thought of and was loved,” he said. He related an example to illustrate the kind of person Lyndzee was. “For every single person in the class, she would find out when was their birthday, and she would make them something for their birthday. “It could be a note, it could be a treat. It was always something that was for the person. It wasn’t about a present, it was about that they were thought of. It was a big deal to her that every one was thought of, and she would make sure that everyone was. That was a constant occurrence.” Hansen said Lynzee also “stuck up for what was right. It didn’t matter if it was something other people wanted or not, she always stuck up for what was right.” That’s what stuck out about Lyndzee to Principal Tim Miller, too. “There was a situation where a kid was getting bullied a bit on the playground, and Lindsay would have none of it. She was a small girl, small in stature, but she stood up for what was right. I just admired her for her spunkiness and her willingness to stand up for others,” Miller said. Though young, the space Lyndzee leaves will be a large one, Miller said. “She was a good girl. Small in stature, but a giant of a person.” Lyndzee’s mother is the clinical director of the Utah Preparatory Academy, a residential treatment center for girls west of Manti. Funeral services will be Saturday at noon at the Ephraim 4th Ward chapel, 751 S. 100 East. Friends may call at the chapel from 10-11:30 a.m.
