Sister's of the Month Quiz

Clues
1 My husband and I lived in the Springview Ward for over 50 years before he passed away 4 ½ years ago. Our children grew up in the ward with many fond memories. Three of our children no longer live in the ward. Our youngest son is now serving in the Stake Presidency. I have held many callings in the stake and ward; the last before I reluctantly moved was working with the Compassionate Service Committee sisters. I learned to love them because of their charitable acts of kindness they perform daily. I miss them.
2 She was born on February 13th and came into this world with a traumatic birth. A loveable and prayerful child . Although she would never eat anything with sugar, on her birthday she would always want chocolate cake. Even though eating it made her sick, since the kids always liked chocolate best, it was what she wanted.
3 She was named after her Mother, Grandmother and Great great grandmother. All of her family lines go back to the pioneers. After her Parents divorce, her Mother bought a home in Bountiful from Carolyn Mickelsen’ s in laws. She served a mission in Lansing Michigan .
4 I was born here in Salt Lake City, December 20, 1964. I went to school at Roosevelt Elementary, Central Jr. High School, and Granite High School. I have spent most of my life, off and on, in this ward. (I just can’t tear myself away.) I have eight brothers and sisters, and I am the next-to-youngest child in my family.
5 My family lived just above 900 E. on Elgin Ave. when I was born in August 1983. I even remember going down the steps to the primary room in the old building that used to sit where ours does now. I have always loved to sing. I was fortunate enough to travel to New York with a select choir to sing in Carnegie Hall my sophomore year. I started to write my own songs and music in high school.
6 I was born in Trenton, New Jersey in the era of the Baby Boomers, attending school in Trenton. I grew up in an area noted in the American Revolution. One time we came to Salt Lake to see the Mormon Tabernacle. While touring Temple Square, we got the Joseph Smith's story pamphlet which I started to read on the ride home to Jersey.
7 My mother and I bought our house at 744 E. Claybourne in 1942, the year I graduated from East High School. I immediately started to work so I was able to pay for the house. I have been active in the Church all my life and held many positions in all organizations, music director in ward and stake assignments, 8 years as a worker at the Salt Lake LDS Temple, Relief Society President for 5 years and 18 months as ward missionary. I have sung all my life from age 16, “bursting into song” whenever the occasion arises.
8 I grew up singing all the time- in church, with my family, on camping trips around the fire. We were a very musical family. I sang in the West High a’cappella choir and then in the Bingham High madrigals. I graduated from Bingham High School in 1991 & attended Ricks College where I studied Psychology, but still sang in the choirs there as well.
9 This sister has been a member of the Grant Stake for her entire life. She was born and raised in the Grant 12th Ward, which is now the Millstream Ward. Her parents still live there. She is the youngest of 5 children. She met her husband while serving on Seminary Council at Granite High School. They married on Feb. 25, 1987 and rented Charlene Robinson's house.
10 This sister was born January 25, 1922; the fifth child, and third daughter in Spring Canyon, Utah. While she was growing up she lived across the street from Woodrow Wilson. They owned a cow which, even though it was the depression, allowed them to have cakes with delicious whip cream on top.
11 I was born in March of 1959. Dad always worked very hard to get the things we all needed to survive in this life. I met my husband in 1988. I’ve always liked to draw and take art classes. I turned 50 in 2009 and I went to Disneyland by myself on my birthday and had a wonderful time.
12 She was quite the tom-boy in her early years. She liked to hike. She and her friends would hike on the lava rocks near her home. She was daring and would jump over crevices where she could have fallen a long way and gotten hurt quite badly. Someone was watching over her, and nothing ever happened though.
13 I was born in Provo, on January 2nd, 1979. I grew up in American Fork next door to my grandparents. I attended Weber State University in Ogden. I work at Jordan Valley Medical Center part time as an ultrasonographer which I really enjoy. While at school, I worked at the Student Support office where one of my coworkers introduced me to my husband.
14 She is the oldest child in a very large family and was given a lot of responsibilities. Her mother plays the piano, who started giving her piano lessons at the age of 5 and continued until 7th grade. She also started playing the violin in school in the 4th grade. In 7th grade, she changed to viola.
15 This sister was born in Oakland, California, in 1951, the eldest of five children. April 26, 2009 she moved to Utah to help care for her elderly parents. After she moved to Utah she became a Nanny for Melanie Owen’s three little poodle puppies. She is a member of the DUP and enjoys attending meetings.
16 I have lived on 8th East as long as I have been married. I graduated from Westminster as a teacher and later from The College of Phoenix with a Masters Degree. in Curriculum Design. My family wasn't active in the church, the Missionaries worked with me for several years to join the church. It wasn't until they came and taught me about Celestial Marriage and that my family could be with me forever, that I realized that the church is true.
17 From age 7, I grew up in this neighborhood and ward. The ward boundaries and names changed every once in a while, but the neighbors were always the same! The first official church calling I received came when I was 15 years old. I was asked to play the organ in Sunday School. I’ll never forget that experience, as the deacons decided to play a big joke on me. Let’s just say my initiation into that calling was somewhat embarrassing.
