Sandra Robson Black August 1, 1940 ~ March 6, 2024

On March 6, 2024, our amazing mother and grandmother, Sandra Robson Black was reunited with many loved ones on the other side of the veil after a short battle with cancer. Sandy was born August 1, 1940, to Ralph G. and LaRae Robson in Moab.
She was the second of four children and was educated in the schools in Monticello. She met her sweetheart Max Black at a Church dance and after a fun and exciting courtship they were married on May 12, 1959, in the Manti Temple.
They enjoyed 64 years of adventure together. They have five children: Karen Whipple (Doug), Kory Black (Mandy), Ked Black (Leslie), Kolene Bassett (Tim), and Kraig Black (Jenny). They are blessed with 20 grandchildren, and 36 great-grandchildren with two more on the way.
Sandy grew up alongside her siblings Sheran Iverson, the late Dennis Robson, and Jan Mardanlou. Her early years were spent enjoying the mountains, playing with her siblings and cousins, spending time at the uranium mines with her aunts and uncles and being surrounded by the beauty of San Juan County.
Sandy and Max shared the joy of jeeping, hiking, and camping in the mountains and the red rock canyons which love they passed on to their children.
Family cookouts and reunions were also a favorite occasion, where she enjoyed being in the company of her family. When the Blue Mountain Ski Lift opened Sandy joined her family in learning how to ski.
Sandy spent most of her time creating a wonderful home for her family. She loved to bake and was well-known for her bread, and rolls. She also mastered the art of Jell-O salads and made many family favorites. Sandy also enjoyed cross-stitching, quilting, and crocheting and created many beautiful pieces that her family will treasure forever.
She served in various church callings including Den Mother and Young Womens Leader. Sandy and Max served together in the Monticello Temple Baptistry, at the Bluff Fort Historical Site, and at the Blue Mountain Dude Ranch where they made many lasting friendships.
Mom and Dad loved going for rides or doing anything just to be together. They loved to put puzzles together, watch westerns or I Love Lucy while eating a bowl of popcorn sprinkled with M&M’s, or enjoying a bowl of ice cream.
The family appreciates the love and concern shown by the many good people of this community.
A viewing will be held at the North Chapel, 347 N 200 W in Monticello on Friday, March 15, 2024 from 10:00-11:30 p.m. Funeral services will follow at 12:00 p.m. Interment will be at Monticello Cemetery.
