Louise Y. Robison

Louise Y. Robison

Louise Yates Robison (1866–March 30, 1946) was the seventh general president of the Relief Society of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from 1928 to 1939.

Robison was raised in Scipio, Utah Territory. Before becoming president of the Relief Society, Robison served as the second counselor to her predecessor, Clarissa S. Williams. In 1940, Robison was succeeded by her own first counselor, Amy B. Lyman.

In 1937, Robison founded Mormon Handicraft, a non-profit organization that sold discounted clothing and blankets made by members of the Relief Society. (When the church announced plans to close the Mormon Handicraft store in 1986, it was purchased by Deseret Book.) Also during Robison's tenure, blue and gold were adopted as the official colors of the Relief Society.

Robison was married to Joseph L. Robison at the age of 17 and was the mother of six children. She died in California and her funeral was held in the Salt Lake Assembly Hall.
