Sister Spotlight: Chelsea Dawson

Hooray! A new sister has moved into our ward (Jenna King’s home) just a couple of months ago. Her name is Chelsea Dawson, her husband is Ben Dawson, and they have four children: Brooklynn is 4 years old, Lincoln is 2, and a set of twins, Landon and Jaden who are 1 year old. Chelsea moved from Mesa, Arizona to Utah with her family when she was ten years old. She is in the middle with one brother and one sister.

She met her husband in high school. Ben became the store manager of Tenney’s Pizza in Saratoga Springs, working there for seven years and delivering pizzas to the Alpine School District. Ben is now the co-owner of a new Tenney’s Pizza which is being built near the Riverton Hospital which should be up and running in a month. Chelsea works part time at Tenney’s Pizza three days a week making 500 pizzas early morning until noon. With this new Tenney’s Pizza and with the contract they now have with the Jordan School District, pizzas will be delivered to the schools in that area.

When Chelsea has time, she loves doing crafts, baking, and planning parties for her children. Her favorite food is Italian (that better be the case with all the pizzas she is making for their business!). Her favorite calling is teaching in Primary and their goal for the future is building up their pizza business. Her guilty pleasure is, of course, chocolate!

We are so grateful they found a home in Riverton for their sweet family. Let us all welcome Chelsea when we see her in the hallway at church and in our meetings. To know you is to love you, Chelsea!

Sister Spotlight: Ashlyn Flynn

Our sweet sister Ashlyn Flynn moved into our River Rose ward in October 2014. Ashlyn and her husband Riley have a son, Ridge, and are excited to be pregnant with another boy.

She was born in Anaheim, CA, with her family eventually settling in Mesa, Arizona. There are five children in her family with her being the middle child.

She has known her husband, Riley, since the 8th grade when he was a sophomore. After high school, she attended school learning phlebotomy and then worked at a hospital in Mesa. Ashlyn was 18 years old and her husband Riley 20 years old when they married in the Mesa Temple. Riley became a pilot for Sky West Airlines this past October 2014. 

Ashlyn enjoys redoing furniture, especially dressers. She also enjoys working out at our Herriman Recreation Center in the aerobic classes 3 to 5 times a week. When asked what is her favorite food she said, “everything,” especially Chinese and Mexican. Her goals for the future is to continue with her nursing school as she would like to be a nurse someday. One of her guilty pleasures is sugar and sour candy.  

Let us all welcome Ashlyn when we see her in the hallway at church and in our meetings. We are fortunate to have this sweet family in our ward.
