Married

Hometown

Spring City, Utah

Places I've been

Moved to the Salt Lake area when I was very young and have spent most of my life here (except for the 20 years in Arizona). Lived in Tucson for 10 years ... another 10 years in the Phoenix area. I love to travel ... go to Northern California a couple of times a year to visit my daughter and her children. Also, have a son (and GREAT grandson) that live in Southern California. Don't get there as often, but plan a trip after Xmas to see the new baby! Have made several trips to Austin, TX, because I have a friend that moved there from Tucson. I go occasionally to help her with her graphics business. Many years ago (first marriage), spent a lot of time in the Wyoming, Montana, Idaho area. My husband travelled there for work, so the kids and I followed in our motor home.

Education

• South High - 1956 to 1958

More about me

Born and raised in Utah.  Moved to and lived in Arizona for 20 years ... can't break the spell it cast over me!  Am back in Utah so I can be close to family, but travel to Arizona every chance I get! 

 As a result of being a caregiver to in-laws for three years prior to their deaths, I have been put in touch with my own mortality.  I want to get the most out of my retirement years.

Activities

Love to travel although am financially limited by how much of it I can do. Spend a lot of time on the computer. Am a somewhat accomplished fisherperson.
