My name is Carolyn (Kelley) P…I was born (literally) in a farmhouse in Whitney, Idaho (bet you have never heard of it) that is close to Preston and just over the border from Logan, Utah. I’m the middle child of three. I have two brothers. When I was nine we moved to Rosemead in Southern California. It was so exciting to move from the snow and cold in Cache Valley to the sunny and palm tree lined streets of California. We all loved it. After High school I attended BYU but didn’t graduate. Instead, I married my high school sweetheart and we will celebrate our 55th wedding anniversary this July.
I have three children, Mike (who passed away in 2001), Kelley Anne (whom most of you know) and Kirk who lives in Park City, Utah. Nine grandchildren and three great grandchildren. We were a military family and I have lived in Idaho, California, Hawaii, Tennessee, Georgia, Athens Greece, Virginia, Florida, Utah, Colorado and now Texas. I really enjoyed meeting wonderful people, both in the church and out, all over our great country. We are so blessed to live in the USA.
I am definitely a morning person…I get up very early and love the quiet time for myself. When we lived in Florida, I would watch the sun come up over the ocean…beautiful. Here I look at our pool and watch the birds, not quite the same but I’m happy.
My hobbies and favorite things are: family, things that are old, cats, books, sports, raspberry (anything), lots of color (paintings, walls, pillows, clothes and shoes) Food (everything but fish), Sweets (especially chocolate), games, puzzles, our country, our flag (I’m very patriotic) and most of all.. I love people.
I have always been a physically active person. The most exciting physical thing I have done was climbing Mount Elbert, the highest mountain in Colorado, what a view! When I was younger, I ran 5 miles every weekday, but now I enjoy walking.
I have held many callings in the church. My most challenging was camp director, primitive camping in the Uintas in Utah, icy cold, no bathroom facilities (you get the picture). My most rewarding, working with the YW as an advisor for all ages and as President. I, also, have always loved Relief Society and have held every calling except Secretary (this is definitely not a hint).
I am your Visiting Teacher Coordinator and enjoy my contact with all of you. Your dedication to Visiting Teaching is an inspiration to me. I’m, also, a temple worker and love being in the temple and feeling the spirit of the wonderful workers and patrons there.
I would like to be remembered as a kind non-judgmental person, who did her best at what ever she was asked to do.
I am so grateful for our Savior, Jesus Christ, the restored Gospel, a living prophet, my husband and family and all of you wonderful Sisters.
