WILMA (PULSIPHER) TURPEN 1245 N. Riverside Ave. #38 Provo, Utah Ph. # (801)373-3625
At BRHS I liked all my teachers, always enjoyed our fun assemblies, loved the exciting sports events and appreciated good friends to do all these things with.
LIFE SINCE 1952:
I spent four great years at Utah State University going to school full-time and working part-time in summers on campus. I earned my BS degree in teaching and secretarial science, and then stayed on another year working on the USU campus. In 1957 I received a call to serve in the British mission for 18 months. For a year of my mission I was privileged to be the secretary to the mission president, Clifton Kerr, of Tremonton.
I was married in 1961 and was blessed to have a son and two daughters. Seven years later we adopted a new born son and three years after that a new daughter. From my five children have come five grandsons and five granddaughters. I was blessed to be a stay-at-home mom most of my married life.
In 1990 I joined Brigham Young University admissions staff and worked there 12 years until retirement in 2002. In 2003 and 2004 I served a one year mission in the Illinois Peoria Mission as a proselyting missionary in a small college town an hour from Nauvoo. I was able to visit the Nauvoo Temple and attended other interesting activities about once a month. I also went to Carthage a couple of times.
Since returning from Illinois I have served at the Provo Temple each week. I serve each week two four hour shifts as a part-time church service missionary at the Church Distribution Service Garment Center on BYU campus. I also work a couple of afternoons a month at a Family History Center trying to learn about Family History.
Hobbies/Interests/Talents:
Most of my church service has been with music. I very much enjoy listening to good music, reading and being with my family and friends.
