After graduation I attended Weber State on a music scholarship for 1 ½ years. I then decided college wasn’t for me [I only went for the orchestra] so I dropped out of school, got married and moved to Fresno California. We lived in Fresno for 2 years where my first daughter was born.
My husband worked for IRS and got a job at the National Office in Washington DC so we moved east and lived in Northern Virginia for 23 years. While there we were blessed with 4 more children, 3 more girls and a boy. While in Virginia I worked at the Smithsonian Catalog taking orders from people all over the world.
After 27 years of marriage I divorced and moved back to Utah.
Throughout the years I have continued my love for music playing in various College/Community orchestras. I am currently a member of the Celebration Chamber Orchestra in Davis County.
For the last 10 years I’ve worked for the Church in the Family History Department and have become increasingly interested in Genealogy.
My oldest daughter Morgan lives in Arcata California and is a singer/songwriter. She graduated "most outstanding student" in her department at Humboldt University with a degree in Natural Resource Interpretation.
My next daughter Kristen served a mission to Munich, Germany, graduated from BYU with a degree in Therapeutic Recreation. She is married and has four children, Michaela 9, Matthew 7 and Adrienne 2.
My son Devin, right in the middle of four girls, got married this summer and lives in Salt Lake City. He works as a Pharmaceutical Technician for Intermountain Health.
Melissa is still in Virginia. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Virginia Commonwealth University with a major in Fashion Merchandising and works for "Urban Outfitters".
My youngest daughter graduated Summa Cum Laude from Westminster College in SLC with a double major in English and Psychology. She is now the editor for the Wasatch Journal Media here in SLC.
I have also raised my oldest granddaughter who is 17 and a senior at Viewmont High School
