Debbie (Lilly)'s Story
I married my best friend Mike in 74. We spent 2 years in NC and 1 year in Japan where our daughter Shannon was born. When we came home he worked in the mines for 8 years and then we came to CA where we were since 85. Mike works for Rio Tinto America as the Training Mgr.for the site. We have 2 grandkids, Michael 18, and Vanessa 14. We love to travel and have been to Japan, Cancun, Scotland, Australia, Mexico and a lot of the US. We have 3 Shih Tzu dogs whom we love dearly. We would love to hear from old friends. I had no interest in going on to school so I became a stay at home mom and now I am a stay at home grandma and loving it. We were not too thrilled with the summertime heat out here but the winters just couldn't be beat. We return to Grants often as I still have family there. I must admit Grants will always be "home" to me. We have recently become addicted to cruising the 7 seas. What ...Expand for more
a wonderful, stressless vacation. In March of 2012 Mike took a transfer to Kennecott in Utah. He is now an Operations Superintendent for the new MAP Plant. We absolutely love it here. We actually are seeing the Fall colors that we have missed for so many years and loving it. I'm sure the first snowy winter here will take some getting used to but it will be so much nicer than that heat of CA!! We live only 2 miles from the Great Salt Lake!! Get in touch if you like.

Fastforward to December 2021...Mike retired from Rio Tinto. We sold the big new house and moved down to the small town of Santaquin. We bought his mom's house, did some remodeling and love it here. His mom lives with us, our daughter and grandkids aren't too far away and life is grand! We still travel when we can but we're also happy to stay home too. We are blessed with decent health and a ton of happiness!
