I grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah, attending Uintah, Roosevelt and East High. A member of the Tri Delta Sorority, I graduated from the University of Utah and received a Masters Degree in Speech Pathology from Denver University June 11, 1954. I met my husband Calvin Laverne Krainock (Chuck) October 1954. Married April 30, 1955 in Las Altos, California, and later as active members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, sealed for time and eternity Dec 14, 1959, in the Salt Lake Temple. Our marriage was blessed by eight children; Linda Jo (Meier), Joyce Lynn (Dalley-Walkey), Bruce Alan, Aurelia Christine (Luders), Holly Jaye (McAllister), Calleen Antoinette (Morris), Jon Lund, and James Andrew. We also welcomed 33 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren (with two more on the way) into our family garden. My family is my greatest joy. I enjoyed genealogy, my friends, and living life.
