She's 88 years of sJdL ,.COmes t0 Friday night kicking her heels up Kke a edit, says she's been dancing since she was nine years old. Another thing Tina has been doing for a long time is making quilts. These beauties have won prizes at the state fair. She has lost count of how many she's made but all of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren (and even great-great-grandchildren) have them. That's four children, 13 grand, 36 great-grand, and 3 great-great-grand. Tina has lived in Roosevelt since 1906. Early in her life she pursued the hobby of collecting relics. She has 700 bottles in. her collection. She is a photographer and expert float-maker and a decorator whose home at Christmastime is well known in this country. She served an Indian mission for two years and has always enjoyed working in the Mormon Church. She was the stake work leader for 17 years and is now stake special interest leader. Tina takes pride in her civic leadership. She is a song leader in the DUP, was the president of the American Legion twice and took a trip to Washington representing that organization. During the war she was the county head of salvage. She worked up to retirement age at several jobs, clerking at a meat market, photography, seamstress, and was a midwife at 17 years of age. Now she has three grandsons in business in the area; Ladd Wilkins, owner of Ladd Floral; Terry Huxford, owner of Trail's End Western Wear and Doyle Wilkins, Roosevelt Electric. It's hard to believe "Tiny," as she is known to her friends, is. 88 years old. She keeps physically fit with bicycle riding, and believes that's the secret to eternal youth. She keeps up her own yard and flowers and says there's not much she hasn't done. She thinks everyone ought to exercise. "If you have to sit, get a rocker. At least you'll get a little exercise that way," says Tiny. She's quite a spunky little lady, a friend to all. We're glad to know Tiny Wilkins. This is Aunt Phoebe saying remember "If you had your life to live over again, you'd need more money." Bye., |
