| Surprise Birthday Party for my 60th BDay |
Energy, positivity, determination,
volunteerism, early rising, working hard, project completing, clean living,
spiritual and joyful are a few words that describe how I live my life. From
1999 to 2017 I held different positions on the Executive Board for the Festivalof Trees, a charity for Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City that
serves 6 states. I owned a business in two different locations for a total of 30 years (Advanced Electrolysis), I sold it and retired so my husband and I
could serve a mission for our church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints)
in New Zealand for 18 months. We digitized probate records that are now on
FamilySearch and I had the wonderful opportunities to speak at Genealogical Guilds in the South Island of New Zealand.
There are many, many more
things but I mention these just to develop a base level of my usual activity.
We have 6 grown children, a fleet of grandchildren, some of whom are young
adults and then a large troupe of wee ones. My life is richly full of people I
love. Life has so very much to offer and I’ve always been the one to take it on
with a huge slice of fun.
We have saved, been
careful with our spending and invested so we would have a comfortable
retirement. Our thoughts have always been of travel and serving missions for
our church with a generous sprinkling of spoiling grandchildren for our retirement. This is my life in a nutshell until RP. I am Debbie Edward.
