Sister Spotlight: Darlene (Dolly) Kellogg

Here is the spotlight for Sister Darlene (Dolly) Kellogg. Unfortunately, she moved out of the ward recently, but several of you got to meet her and we thought you'd like to know more about her. Thanks so much to Sister Mandy Marquardson for getting to know Dolly and writing this up for us! 

Dolly was born on August 28 in San Francisco, California. When the nurse brought her to her mother, she said, "Here is your little Dolly" (that is how she got her nick name).

Her father was in the military, so she spent a number of years in foreign countries, like Germany and the Philippines. Her family moved to Boise, Idaho, where she graduated high school. It was in Idaho that she was Queen for the Idaho, Oregon, Nevada Appaloosa Association and rode bareback broncs and bulls in rodeos. 

Her husband Bob was her secret high school sweetheart. They met in a graveyard in Idaho and were married five weeks later. She joined the church soon after they were married. They have nine children together and have been married over 50 years. During that time they have lived in over 23 places, mostly due to Bob’s job as a ranch manager. Dolly loves horses as well as all animals. Her favorite place to live was on a ranch in Wyoming, where she had an array of animals. She loved to go camping on horseback in the mountains with pack horses.
