Colleen Ferrin Wilson


I have been married to Doug Wilson from Eden for 37 years give or take 5 years. He is from the class of "67". I am crazy about him, he just gets better every year.

We have 5 children, 4 girls and 1 boy.
Holly, our oldest is married to Lex Shaw and lives in North Ogden. They have 3 children.
Robin is married to Nate Healy and lives in South Ogden. They have one child.
Nikki is married to Aaron Wolthuis, has three kids and lives in Perry.
Mac is married to Priscila Zivic [from Argentina] and has three children. They don't live anywhere right now as they are literally on their way to New Jersey where he will be working on his Doctorate in Spanish at Rutgers University.
Carly is married and has one child and lives in Eden.
So if you are keeping track, that makes 11 grandchildren. We love living in the valley, it is so beautiful here even in the winter when there is 4 feet of snow. I have worked for Intermountain Health Care at Mckay-Dee Hospital for the last 15 years in the Radiology department. Doug is a Fireman/farmer. We are pretty content with our life here in Eden and enjoy good friends and family. My favorite thing to do is to be with my family. I love it when we are all together. It is so crazy...........love them when they come..........love them when they go.

My favorite hobby is hiking. I started hiking with a group of ladies about 10 years ago. We call ourselves "Women Who Do It", because we don't just talk about going on hikes, we actually plan them and do them. We have hiked in the "Saw Tooth Mt's" the "Tetons", the Zions "Narrows", Grand Canyon's "Phantom Ranch", "Wind Rivers" in Wyoming, "Ice Lake" near Silverton Colorado, and many others. We do not back pack in, but rather stay in local accommodations and do day hikes anywhere from 5 to 20 miles. We like showers and good food. Brenda Crittenden Carnahan and Sally Oyler Pincomb are two classmates that hike with me. We have so much fun and mostly laugh and treat blisters!

I am so excited for this reunion as I try and keep in touch with many of my classmates. Many of them have helped to shape my life and at times have saved it. I hope to see you all and get reacquainted with all those who come. Hope to see you there
