Tell us something that might surprise us…
I was raised on a farm, I used to milk cows and plow fields.
I was raised a tom boy, my two brothers weren’t around to help out. One was on
a mission for the LDS church and the other was in the Navy. My Father was
Bishop at the time so I had to help out where I could with the farm work.
I have 4 children, 3 girls and 1 boy. I have 12
grandchildren and 3 greats!!
I graduated from South Cache High School in
1959. Later I met my husband at the Terrace in SLC, which is a dance club. We
got married and that’s how I ended up in Grantsville.
Carolyn let me wander around her house and take pictures of her cute quilts! ... My goodness they are everywhere!!
THANK YOU Carolyn!!! What a treat!!
