Hearing Our Heritage

If you talk to Rea Rader she will probably try to tell you that she's had a very ordinary life, but she has nearly 90 years of stories that say otherwise. She spent her childhood in rural Utah— at times without power or plumbing! She met her sweetheart, Bill, when she was still in high school, and they raised their six children together. They also ran a physical therapy office and served two church missions. She has 31 grandchildren, 43 great-children, and 1 great great and another on the way. If thats not an extraordinary life, I don’t know what is. 

Jan Johnson is a kind, happy and beautiful 84 year old woman. She has filled her life with love, service, and laughter and has shared it with her beloved husband Ted, their 11 children, 48 grandchildren and many great grandchildren. Listen as she shares the funny stories from their family farm and the inspiring perspective that has carried her throughout her life.
