Coleen and Bruce lived in Salt Lake and Logan while Bruce attended school. They eventually settled in Wellsville, Utah to make their home and raise their family where they have lived for the last forty six years.
Coleen enjoyed serving in her callings in the church. She especially enjoyed her time in the nursery and serving in the Relief Society. She worked for several years as the payroll secretary for Cache County School District. She enjoyed doing crafts and handwork as evidenced by many ceramic dolls, quilts, afghans, home decor and lawn decorations, children's clothes, and crocheted animals.
