Sister Spotlight September 2011

Born near Kalamazoo, Michigan, this sister lived there until she was only three years old.  Then her family moved to Missoula, Montana.  She had 2 sisters (one passed away as a baby) and 2 brothers.  She met her husband who lived in the neighborhood where she grew up.  They fell in love and married soon after.  They were blessed with three children, one boy and two girls.  At 24 years old she was introduced  to the church when some ward missionaries stopped  to talk with the family.  (Her husband was a member, but inactive.)  She and her 2 older children were soon baptized.  She's felt the gospel bless her life, especially with raising her children.  She's since held many callings in the church such as R.S. teacher, YW president, nursery worker, single adult representative and is currently one of our visiting teaching supervisors.  She and her husband moved to Lolo in 1977.  Her husband passed away in 1999.  She moved to Florence in 2004, were she now lives with her son, three Pekinese dogs and a cat.  She's always loved animals.  She is a talented artist and has done many paintings over the years.  She likes doing family history work.  Traveling with  her granddaughter is anther thing she enjoys.  She is known for her positive attitude- she has had several major surgeries in the past few years and is not a complainer.  She is a lot of fun to be around.  We sure love her!  Who is she?  Click on the comments to find out.
